29 but feel like 50 years old!

Oh dear so to hear, yes book an appointment soon. Hmm I'm 50 but feel like a 29 year old

Take care of your health. I don't have health issues but psychological one. I suffered from agoraphobia and social anxiety. My salary is low and I don't enjoy at my age which makes me feel older in front of others. though just turned into 30s club. I think some things can't be helped and we just have to carry on with it.

When you aren't breathing well and getting enough oxygen, you don't have much energy and that's bound to make you feel a little old and weary. See the doctor.

Sorry about your health issues. Hope you find a better solution to your problem. It must be really tough on you , I guess.

I'm sorry you have asthma, I know how debilitating that can be.

Take care. Hope you can get some help with the asthma

Feel so sorry for you. At the moment, our air here is in the dangerous range. The forest fire from our neighboring country is affecting the air quality in many countries. I feel suffocated at times, and I am not even asthmatic. I cannot imagine living with asthma for life.

that sounds awful.. my sister has asthma too but uckily she hasn't had any attacks lately.. she just has to stay away from the bad food and too much stress. hope you feel better now

I am also prone to it, at times.

So sorry to read this. Don't wait too long for seeing the doc.

I am so sorry, it is normal to "feel old" when we are sick. I hope you can feel better and be again young as your age says.

You really do need to see a doctor if your inhalers aren't working anymore. He/she may have to prescribe something different for you. My brother has asthma so I can understand.

Does your practice not run an asthma clinic?

i think you should consult with a doctor.

I was diagnosed with asthma when I was about your age. I think that I had actually had it ever since I was a child but, in those days, I think the word hadn't even been thought of. I always hated games, though, and, thinking back, it was mostly because I couldn't run well and got short of breath very quickly. A few years ago I was told that I DON'T have asthma but I do have COPD and my medications were changed. At some point I was told the difference between the two but now I can't remember. I only know that I use salbutamol as a reliever (which does help) and no longer use the brown one (which is a steroid) but was changed to a purple one and then taken off that and now only use a powder (tiotropium bromide) inhaler. I do always find that my wheeziness tends to get worse as autumn sets in, so I think that I'm allergic to fungal spores. I also find that I get short of breath when I get anxious or upset, though I only very rarely get to such a state that my breathing distresses me (that is, as in a full asthma attack). I have often found that a few minutes of controlled breathing will calm me and relieve the breathing and the panic that comes with not being able to breathe properly.
