Asthma is never fun. Neither is 2 attacks in 3days. I've barely recovered from the first and then here comes the second. arghh.
My doc told me my asthma may be stress-induced. And I go around telling people that. But no one seems to be able to establish the link between stress and asthma. I can't too, initially. When I had my first attack on the fateful sunday before O lvl prelims, I thought maybe it's due to the clams that i ate and had food poisoning. A few more visits to the doc rejected that 'hypothesis' of mine. Then the doc concluded that it may be due to the upcoming MAJOR exam(which I had 100% confident in). How ironic. Stressed at sth that I'm confident in. Perhaps not confident enough? Hohoho.
But there's one very strange thing about my asthma attacks. I get numbness all over body. No one with asthma seems to be able to relate to this. I wonder why. Is it cos mine isn't asthma to start with? I do get the coughs, the running nose, nose blocks and the feeling of not breathing tho i'm gasping for air. Weird huh maybe I've got some psychological problem.
I blamed the first attack on stress. I think it is, cos just before the attack I was feeling dam stressed(just look at the pile of work I have) and helpless. Helpless because everyone around me is so hardworking and i have no idea WHERE to start. And the feeling that I'm not yet prepared for As is a very very very bad one. As is so unlike Os! arghh.
The second I blamed it on cold weather. Seriously, the weather it getting on my nerves. Like today, it's so windy that I couldnt help but keep on sneezing. It's like I caught a flu on my way to sch and it is just so ridiculous! I'm a bio student and I know what's dormant period of flu viruses please. And it doesn't help that it nearly triggered another attack(can't breathe normally due to blocked and running nose).
Oh wells there's another cause for the second attack, but I should keep it to myself. Afterall, there's nothing anyone, including myself, can do about it.
I hate this 'asthma' thing. =(
