Feel Unwell after Talking?

Hello all.....i have noticed after going to parties etc and talking more than usual I feel very unwell. I visited with my 95 year old Grandmother for about 4 hours yesterday. I have to speak slightly louder than usual so she can hear. As I was leaving I started feeling very unwell in my lungs (as if they were "swollen" or something) and even my throat felt strained. This happens often. Talking exausts me. Anyone else experience this?

    debra,

    I have never felt unwell.  I usually feel out of breath and a little fatigue.

    Have you checked with a cardiologist (heart doctor)? Your heart may be putting presure on your lungs or lungs putting pressure on your heart.

    Good luck, Beth

    Debra, I would check with your doctor as soon as you can to see what might be going on. A lot of us on the site have SOB (shortness of breath), so with BRX that would not be unusal. What you have had is a change in your SOB or perhaps a beggining of SOB.

    First thing I thought was the enviroment at your grandmothers home may have caused an asthma attack, if you have asthma.

    But like Beth mentioned it could be something else.

    New changes in SOB should be addressed ZI believe.

    My oxygen saturation falls if I talk while walking, esp up stairs. Feel better soon🙋

      Vevo, so the SOB on exertion has been with you for awhile? What have you done for it?
