Its horrible isn't it. I've had asthma most of my life and its particularly bad at the moment becasue of the rape. My huge hate is the same, I can't stand not been able to take big breaths. WHat I find though is as long as I've taken my medications and stuff I can deal with them short term at least by breathing out in stages, so breath out a bit then stop then a bit then stop etc....firstly it stops you panicking, secondly it balences the o2 of something and thirdly if you breath out properly your more likely be abl t take that deep breath your desperate for!\nAlso turn your mattress on your bed, wash all your bedding regardless of when you last did it and hoover your room. Oh and when you go outside wear your sunnies, very good for stopping extra pollen getting into your system. Also if you havn't got one look into getting a spacer, I think you can just get the over the counter in boots and stuff...the take all your inhalers through it, it just increaces the amount of medication you inhale...ask your doc for details.\nOh and as for the hayfever, buy a pot of local honey (local as possible) and have a teaspoon on toast every morning, I swear by it! Good luck sweets, hope you feel better soon!

In all likelyhood you pulled a muscle or bruised yourself in the struggle with old clothes. If your ribs or abs are sore, that is likely and you may just be experiencing limitation of movement to breath moreso than inability to breath. It would never be a bad idea to speak with your doctor if you continue to be short of breath.

You could try to go to bed earlier and see if that helps or even try a little shot of wine (2-4 ozs.)right before bedtime. Sometimes even if you sleep all night you still feel tired. This could be from a lack of oxygen when you are sleeping. Do you snore at all? If so it might be worth it to have a sleep study done to see if the cause is sleep apnea. This is quite common and unless it is severe, most people do not even realize that they have a problem. You might want to consider talking to your doctor about this. Some time you can fix the problem just by sleeping inclined or at a different angle.  \nGood luck to you and rest well. \n\nHope this will help you!

Wow see a doctor, you might have exercise induced asthma or something else, maybe with your blood sugar. Please tell your parents or guardian and definitely see a doctor!

It may be lack of sleep.\n\nIf it were me, I wouldn't be asking Yahoo!ANSWERS. I'd be asking a doctor.

It has happened to me. I have woke up and cannot move or speak. I try to scream and nothing comes oujt. I have even seen something approach me. TRY your HARDEST to move even a finger. Once you can do that you'll come out of it. I read that it has omething to do with the REM part of sleeping. The body wakes up during a deep sleep and that is why I would see something coming at me. Many others have been through the same thing. Talk to a sleep specialist or a neurologist.

more than likely its sleep apnea... go see a sleep disorder specialist.. they really help.. and this is from experience because I actually never hit level 4 ROM sleep (deep sleep) and I am always exhausted.... GL and go to the doctor...

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

I have had this many times and it sounds like an anxiety attack. You become so afraid that you start breathing fast and hyperventilate. I was told to hold my breath and count to ten, after i had slowed my breathing down I didn't feel dizzy any more. I thought I was going to die when this started happening  to me and it seemed to get worse each time. When I realized I could control it and it was me being afraid that caused the problem, it has not happened again for several years. I am not a doctor, but these same symptoms happened to me.

I had the same thing one time. Turned out I'd pulled some muscles in my chest at the same time. Probably nothing but go to the doctor if it gets worse or it worries you.

My brother is always out of breath because of his asthma so that's probably it. You should see your doctor and ask him if there's something he can prescribe that make you breath better. Good Luck.

hi........you are describing what me and certain members of my family have had happen many, many times. you are just getting ready to drift off to sleep but you are very much still aware of your surroundings. all of a sudden you feel like you can;t move your body and your breathing feels funny. most of the time we all get the feeling someone or something is in the room with us and it sets such a fear inside you but you can't move or speak. often i try to shake myself awake, but i feel paralyzed. i heard this is a real disorder called sleep paralysis. wow......it seems funny seeing you ask about this. for a long time i thought only my family had this.

I hope you have not been waiting for this long. Don't adjust the pressure yourself- do you use for sleep apnea..?\nCall the home health people and tell them to come and sort it out right now.
