How to cure tight chest muscles??


Question:
The muscles around my lungs get really tight when I'm stressed which makes it difficult to get a good deep breath. Almost like the feeling of suffocation when it gets really bad. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. What can I do to cure this until I can make it to see my doctor?

Answers:
I would try to avoid stressful situations, if at all possible. It sounds like you're having stress related asthma attacks. I get those too. They really don't respond to my rescue inhaler until I take two or three treatments close together. I know when I might be in a situation that will trigger my asthma, so I avoid it as well as I can.

Until you see your doctor, I think you should try to be as stress-free as possible. Strong caffeinated coffee or tea can help for asthma, so that might be useful when you have a stress related asthma attack. Try to relax and take it easy until you see your doctor. Especially, don't worry about your doctor's appointment the night before and on the day when you're going. I have worried my blood pressure upwards significantly before. Worrying could set your lungs off on the day of your appointment.
You may wanna think about having a toxic free home. My sister has asthma and she decided to rid her household of all toxic cleaning products as well as her laudry detergent, skin car and cosmetics. She shops with this company that sells all non-toxic products and she hasn't had an attack since. Believe it or not, the things that we inhale daily such as cleaning products do effect us over time, I've been researching since my sister told me that. If you'd like information on where she shops let me know. I can get all the info.
