I have been having trouble breathing when I walk for some time. Now I am
having coughing & choking until I lose my
breath to the point I almost pass out. I have had this for about two
weeks, no fever. IT is very scary when I can't breathe. My doctor gave
me disc to try. One is Advair and the other one is Spiriva
Handihaler. I use one at night & one in the morning and they have
helped, but I still continue to have these coughing/choking spells
between these times. It strains almost every muscle in my whole body,
and sometimes I even gag like someone has their hands around my throat.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so what do you do. I never had it
before and I am 71 years old, body worn out I guess; I can't even do the
stairs now, so short of breath. I only have a Web and it seems to be
limited as to what information I can get.  <June>
