Shortness of breath

[kajero]

Last night I did something kind of illegal. I "borrowed" my SO's prescription nebulizer which he doesn't use any more. I did the breathing thing for 25 minutes. It made a world a difference this morning at spin class. Although I was out of breath, it was nothing like before.

So today I went to a highly recommended nurse practitioner. I was so impresed that she is now my primary physician. She LISTENED to me and then had me do some kind of test where you breath into this little machine. It indicated I do have some lung constriction and there is small chance of asthma. She prescribed an inhaler. I can't wait to try it Thursday to see if it makes a difference.

Thank you all for all your wonderful insights and information. It's going to be very interesting to ride without having everyone ask me if I am all right because I am so short of breath!
