Cannot Get Enough Oxygen.
49 Answers
I’ve had a chesty cough for well over a year. It’s progressively gotten worse. About six months ago I managed to speak by phone to the practice nurse regarding the chest infection. She prescribed a nasal spray saying she thought it was leakage from my sinuses causing the issue. I knew from long experience that I had a chest infection. Two weeks later she acquiesced and gave a prescription for general purpose antibiotics, a five day course. The effects were noticeable but insufficient. She adamantly refused to give me another, stronger, longer course of antibiotics.
Now I have gotten considerably worse. I have a long and severe hacking cough but worse, now I cannot breathe deeply. It’s as though I cannot get enough oxygen into my lungs. I am yawning constantly but am unable to complete the yawn enough to satisfy my need for air.
It is very alarming not to be able to breathe deeply. Also I get out of breath very easily. The slight effort of walking upstairs and I’m breathless. My local practice won’t let me speak to a doctor, they are in hiding still. This breathing issue is progressing at an alarming rate and I fear that my lungs may be permanently damaged.Last night I sat on the edge of the bed trying to get a decent breath of air until four in the morning. I’m a none smoker, none drinker, but disabled due to a catastrophically bodged hip operation twenty years ago. I’m seventy this month. Helpful suggestions appreciated.
