Hi,
I don't think this is a blow by blow account but it might be.Im just really curious .. if anyone else suffers with issues that I am feeling.
Every morning I wake up.. the air is cold.. say about 50 degrees..I turn the heater on in the house also a little room heater.
After about an hour my head gets really stuffy and I start feeling as though its hard to breathe..like there isn't enough oxygen..We live in an old house not really insulated built in the 1940's ..its drafty so doesn't really heat evenly..Some places are a little cold others a little hot..So it makes life a little rough.
Anyway getting back to the oxygen.. It gets so miserable I just want to lay down and go to sleep..I feel sweaty and cold at the same time and don't feel as though I can breathe ok.Im not sure whether its just anxiety or something really wrong..
Could it just be stuffy feeling making me imagine I cannot breathe or could it be anxiety period.. Or could it be not being able to get enough oxygen.
I don't really understand feeling like this.We moved here from a place that had 25 percent less oxygen and I could breathe fine.Last time at doctors she said lungs and heart were fine.The only difference here is the humidity is usually 50 percent or more..and when im feeling this its usually 70 percent or more.
When we lived in the place with less oxygen it was barely ever 15 to 20 percent humidity.I don't have a wheeze.I don't gasp for air.I don't have a cough.. nor blue fingers ,lips or any other sign that im not getting enough oxygen however I do feel a little dizzy from time to time but think that has to do with the lighting..
As I said sorry if this turned out to be blow by blow.. but I need to know..if anyone anyone else has this issue..living in a old house and having uneven heat and feeling of being smothered.. If anyone else has the same issue please post here.Thanks. Michael
