Hi guys,
So, I've been having some crazy bad chest tightness since early April, but my PFTs are AWESOME. My doc wants me to do a cleanout before school starts, but said she would consider doing it after school gets out if I wasn't feeling better. She didn't want to do anything when I went in yesterday because my PFTs were so good, other than up my Advair to 115/21. Any other ideas? I haven't had allergies before, but I'm wondering if it's seasonal allergies. I'm coughing junk up daily and wake up feeling like elephants are on my chest. It's better after I do a vest and Xopenex treatment, but I'm having to do a Xopenex neb treatment every 8 hours exactly, and in the past few days I've felt like I want to do it every 4 (but can't because the neb is long-lasting.) So I've been going Xopenex neb, 4 hours later an inhaler, 4 hours later a Xopenex neb. All day. Any ideas?
