I hope someone out there can help. i had a bad bronchitis with bad cough starting dec 22 through jan 2007. finally the cough went away. about three days after that i began either asleep or awake having my throat tighten and feel like it is closing to the point that i cannot breathe or can barely breathe. it awakens me from a dead sleep, i gasp for what feels like my life to get a breath in. i went to my doctor, the one who had put me on Avelox for my bronchitis. He said it was probably just globus hystericus and just to stay calm. he said that it will always calm down and go away, but sometimes my gasping/not breathing episodes last for what feel like 30 seconds to a minute. i am scared one of these times i am going to pass out. my husband each time stands beside me waiting to see if he needs to call an ambulance. the doctor says it can be related to stress, but i really do not have any stress at the present time. it all started after the bronchitis?? I had a barium swallow and the doctor doing the study said he could see no problems, but said he had globus hystericus in medical school. he said it eventually goes away. this has been two weeks though for me and when these episodes occur i think i am not going to be able to breathe and my kids witness a very scary episode. anyone had this or have a suggestion? thank you.

Hello, I had bronquitis recently, so I hope I can be alittle bit of help to you. I have been always very healthy but about 1 month and a week ago I got a flu, it ended up in bronquitis. Just like you I had cough at first and then it went away, my Dr. says I am ok now, but I don't feel quite normal, sometimes I feel tightness of breath, I think it comes mainly at night when I start thinking about my situation and sometimes I think that I will never fully recover or develop other desease because it's been a long time and it won't go away totally. What has worked for me is the following: I talked to 2 people who had accute bronquitis and went trough this situation for more than two months to fully recover, so if they cured We will cure as well, start thinking possitive like that, be condident that you are not the only person in this situation and if others could make it so can you. Believe me it is not a chronic situation, it will pass. Now other advice that has helped me alot, is to eat alot of radish, I feel I can breath really good and I almost feel since I started eating radished almost 3 times a day. I don't know why but they are very good. Finally let me tell you God has showed me alot of things I need to change these days in my life, so I think you should try to lean what God is telling you with this test. I will be praying for you, the Bible says God is the one who takes us out of the well of desperation, and someday close you will remember He was the one who took you out and gave you peace and health. Bye.
