HI ladies.....

yeah, I've done some research, and breathlessness can be caused by hormones....the dr. said that is DEFINATLEY a BIG reason! OK, he told me, I have to see him soon again for some SERATONIN, which he said I need to keep my hormonal level normal, or "even" ... so that's next now. I can't see him for two weeks, at least not in the office, between my own life schedule, and his office hrs....he gave me XANAX, which did help quite a bit, but today, 5 days later, I woke up this morning with the same problem! It wasn't as bad though, but it was "trying"! I had to sit up in bed, act "normal" so as not to panic, got up to go to the bathroom and felt my heart POUNDING again, I tried to "relax" but you know what that's worth. Went back to bed, had to sit up on the bed and just "breathe", I started to get that need for that DEEP DEEP BREATH, the kind that goes all the way down and stretches your lungs, that wonderful satisfying breath. At that point, I started to get that feeling I had on Friday all over again, I hadn't felt that in 5 days! That's when you get panicky again, you become SO AFRAID it's happening all over again, and that you won't be able tobreathe! Well, I popped a xanax, thank God for those, lol , and within about 20 minutes, things started to relax and I coudl get a deep nice breath again! I'm not a big fan of modern medicine, but I'll tell you, this XANAX is great stuff! It really did open the air passages, and made me relaxed.

Now, I did notice however, that during the day it was trying to "start up" again, even WITH the xanax in my body! So, what the heck? It must be the hormones. I am on day 3 of my period, and this period I'm noticing is diff. .. ususally I bleed like a stuck pig the first two days, really heavy....then on the third day, very very little, then it picks up on the fourth and fifthe day. Well, this month, the first two days were light, and now today, the third day, it's hardly a thing..we'll see what tomorrow brings (tomorrow should be the fourth day, and it SHOULD pick up, but who the heck knows now)....so I can tell my period is off this month too, yeah, he must be right, it's the hormones....I kind of wondered that myself even before going to the ER, but whatever the reason was, I coudln't breathe! So, as far as answers, well, I'm going to get the SERATONIN, that's for sure, and Im going to get more xanax from him.....I really need that. Yeah, this is a very scary symptom, that's for sure! I can take a lot of crap, a lot of symptoms, but this not breathing thing is unbelieveable! Yeah, I also noticed that i get this nauseas feeling too, and my glands under my chin on both sides (like where you get swollen glands) are "bothering" me, feel weird. I also get very bloated and gassy when this happens too, and keep burping .... see all these symptoms happen within a short time of each other, on the same day (that's when the breathing thing starts, like today).

Well, I took another xanax, and Ican feel it relaxing me now, so, as far as what to do with this, get xanax...lol...I mean, it does help,,,you can't live like that! Get Seratonin too, it's supposed to keep your hormones "even"....he told me that if I didn't get the seratonin, the same thing will just keep happening to me next month again..GEEZ!

TAKE CARE LADIES.....sincerely, my darling
