Short of breath…
Yesterday I had my annual mammogram. While the technician was taking the pictures she asked me to hold my breath. Not for very long, just a few seconds. But twice I felt myself on the brink of passing out. Kind of scary. Then tonight at chorus practice, I felt faint several times.
I wonder if you can get a home oxygen saturation test kit. With my allergies, my sinuses have been draining into my lungs at night and I can feel them filling up with fluid, but when I was at the doctor’s office Tuesday she listened to my lungs and they sounded clear.
Oh well, in the meantime, I’m just not going to hold my breath, sing or anything that will make me feel light headed. I took a Mucinex this morning. I’m hoping that will help.

This doesn’t sound good at all. Are you on a c-pap at night? Sounds like you’re not blowing off all your Co2….marilyn
