So today I took my asthma test. They had me breathe into a tube normally. Then you have to take a deep breathe in and then blow hard and push all the air out of your lungs. After they got a base line reading, they starting giving me medication to provoke a reaction. There are five steps to the medications. If you make it through all of the steps with no reaction you are good to go. If you have a reaction at any step, you have to stop and take a different set of meds to stop the reaction.
I started to have problems at step 4 and after step 5 I was taking the inhaler. So something is going on at least. I'm back to my regular doctor on Tuesday to find out what I should be doing about all of this. The inhaler had weird side effects. My hands and feet felt like they were asleep, but shaking. I felt shaky and wired. It was not so fun, but after 5 minutes I could breathe better and within 20 I was less jittery.
So I decided to mow the lawn... and now my nose is stuffed. Not my best decision.
