I get very sob, every now 3 weeks or so. I usually find its because I am tired, hungry, need more water, or clothes too tight around the diaphram. After all my adjustments & checks are done, then I know to just rest. It's happening more lately.

Hi folks, I am not sure all this checking people do is a good thing, for me it would confirm what I already know and give me something else to worry about, I know if I found out my blood pressure was a bit high I would worry it higher, as somebody said 'Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing' Now may I point out this is just my opinion, if it gives you comfort to know these things then that is the way to go. Take care and do your own thing xx

Sometimes I feel like my lungs are too big for my rib cage, like they want to break through. Crazy, but it feels that way
