Yester was the day from hell. I did a little shopping in the morning, and had SOB when I got back. PLB and O@ helped. Even though I managed to go 4 - 5 hours between inhaler, by evening, just walking across the room caused extreme stress. All this time, O2 was in the mid 90's, yet i was OOB. I used my inhaler at 5, then by 7:30 {regular time for Symbicort} I did both Combivent & Symbicort, and considerable PLB. I seriously considered the ER, however my breathing came around, and didn't need Combivent till bed time.
What helped, is rechecking out the resources above. The recommendation was to increase use of emergency inhaler when SOB is persistent.
Things started Sun AM w/hum = 98%, and pressure well below 30. Struggling to breath upon waking. Both Hum and pressure were low yesterday, contributing to my difficulities.
Things seem to have returned to "normal" this morning.
