This sucks for me

Seasonal allergic rhinitis

I have it

It started with my boat project when I used paint stripper I had issues breathing the following two days or so. This was even using a good resperator.

Well I done it last week, used a 3M adhesive sray for the wall paper in the RV, next day I was rushed to the Hospital on breathing issues, They treated me for a heart attack instead(which scared the heck out of me) but, thank God it wasn't my heart. I now know its Seasonal allergic rhinitis and I have a long recover ahead(puts the boat on hold) The symptoms are horrible and are similar to heart attack symptoms so if you don't know them your thinking that your dieing. All I know is that it sucks and I'm getteing older

Wow, what a drag, and you even took precautions.  At least you found out when you were relatively close to medical help and now you know.  Gotta try and look at the positives.

Heal up soon!!

Thanks Russ

Yea I may have stressed there, I know I could have it worse as do others. I thank the Lord that I don't. This does interupt your life stlye tho.

My kids had to see it and that hurt me badly(kinda screws with me in the head) thought it was the last time I'd see them as I'm sure they thought as well

Man I'm tellin ya guys it looks like a heart attack when it happens. Hard to breath, dizzy or faint, chest pressure, nuaseated. That would mess anyone up in the head.  

Next week I'll do a poliminary test, they'll test my air strentgh, and stick me with a bunch of needles to see what I'm allergic to, that way I'll learn what triggers it(hopefully)

This weather isn't helping at all >

That bites. It may be a blessing in disquise. If you were somewhere with no decent medical attention it could have been much worse. The Pulmonory test and Scratch Test will at least give you the causitive reasons. Thats half the battle. Also, it was a wake up call to show you what is really important in life. Without sounding like a Guru, one of the worse things about getting older is realizing your mortality. You lose a sense of innosense when you get older. But, you also get wiser and stronger in the head. Sorry about the spelling, I am too tired to check,lol. Good luck, it will be fine.

I have a feeling that you will be lugging some Epinephrine around, which is used to treat anaphylaxis and acute bronchial spasms  for just such emergencys. Its the same thing with people allergic to bee stings. After the test the physician will come up with a diagnosis and alternatives for you.
