Before her CF diagnosis, Katy was diagnosed with "seasonal asthma" by her pediatrician based on a cough that wouldn't go away. Her CF doc has not diagnosed her with asthma.
The past 5 days or so, she has been doing a rapid breathing off and on. I can't tell if there is something wrong with her or if she has discovered something "new" and is trying it out (you know how kids are). She does seem a little tired, but she has been playing outside like crazy with her sister and the neighbors. I took her pulse ox and it was 99 to 100. She does not have a cough, runny nose, or anything else.
I'm not sure what my specific question is, just mostly curious about how an asthma component of CF presents itself. Her next CF appointment is on May 27th. She will be doing her first spirometry at that time. She is already on nebbed Albuterol 2x a day prior to HS. Also, this rapid breathing stuff did coincide with just starting a TOBI cycle. Thanks for any thoughts/comments!
