Even if it's allergies/asthma, I may end up needing to go to a walk-in clinic (it they're still open) for a dose of Prednisone, but don't want to be around so many ill patients to either p/u or spread anything. Don't know how long to wait before I start trying to find a dr?

TY very much & you're right.
I found some decongestant pills which can be taken every 4-hrs. With my 1st dose, it only took 2-hrs before I feel 75% better! I can breathe!!! No wheezing, no gasping for breath, no labored breathing! Wow!
It's amazing that the woods out back have grown substantially in just a few days... I'm in FL. Last wk, I could see only bare branches... 4-days later, all the trees have full leaves & there are 1/2-dozen different flowers growing. I think it's just a coincidence that I went to the market same day that a growing explosion happened 10' away from my patio.
I think I'll be fine.
The pills worked & I do believe in good wishes making a huge difference, too, so cheers very much!_Kashmir_314 wrote: »TarryTaffyTwo wrote: »Went for a 3-mi walk yesterday & was wheezing & breathing heavily like a smoker (I've never been).

Went through this exact same thing yesterday. I'm just recovering from pneumonia and I'm on steroids etc. I'm thinking mine was anxiety or allergies.
Here's what they're doing (locally) as far as walk in medical centers go. You call from the parking lot and if you have any symptoms of CV, they walk out to your car and test you. I'm not sure if this helps reduce your anxiety a bit, but it may be worth calling...assuming you're still feeling ill. I know what it's like to struggle to breathe. 😕 Hopefully you're feeling better.
Pneumonia? Dear lord! Are you almost done with your prescription or did you just get steroids yesterday?
It appears to be allergies for me (see above), so I'll be fine. Bummer though that I'll have to take them regularly... I hate drugs.
TY kindly for your help & your tips. I hope you recover quickly! Sending you Internet healing energy. 2 -

I've said before that we are probably not to far off from the days when everywhere you go, someone will be there asking "Are you sick? 🧐"
Today I got to work and a supervisor was intercepting us all between the parking lot and locker room asking "Do you have any symptoms? 🧐"1 -

I have a telephone system that I clock in and out of when I'm at my clients homes - there's now a button I have to press where it asks what my temperature is.2 -

You can try and phone a doctor, or email. I phoned my doctor when I was sick, and he actually gave me his email, so I could communicate with him through email.
Thank you, kindly. I will be resting & just watching movies all day for the foreseeable future... just walked to the mailbox & was huffing & puffing on straight sidewalk... it took 15-min RT, when it normally takes 5... it felt like I was on a steep hike... I'm exhausted. I'm glad no one else was out cuz I can hear myself breathing & can't control it.
Oh, boo, I don't have a dr. I just moved to FL & haven't had a dr or insurance for 10-yrs. So, I'd have to find a walk-in clinic or ER, which I'd stay away from unless in dire need. I'm sure they're filled with very ill patients. We've got 700 CV cases in our county alone.
It could be a bad asthma attack, because it's happened before. It's untreated cuz I'm allergic to everything & like I stated above... no ins.The treatment is 1 Prednisone pill & that's it. I wish I could easily get one. If I'm still gasping for air tomorrow, I'll begin calling walk-in clinics. Just hate to spend the $ now, with no job.
Thank you for your advice. Be well...
My sister in law had to take her kid to urgent care, and they had her wait in the car until they were ready to see her. Not sure if that is normal practice now, but if so, I would call the closest one and ask. That way you get seen by someone and still minimize contact.
ETA: So happy to hear you are feeling better and that it sounds like just allergies! Must be a relief... 😊1 -
