Daughter feeling like she can't breath...

ReneeP · Nov 28, 2007

My daughter, Kaitlyn, was complaining last night that she couldn't breath when she was lying down. She's never said that before and I wondered if anyone would have some idea what she was feeling and maybe what was causing it.

She hasn't been feeling well for a week now... she's having headaches, a real deep cough and a sore throat. She had seemed to be better the day before yesterday but then last night she was complaining again. She doesn't have a stuffy nose or anything. She said it was definately in her chest... it just felt like she could not breath. She was coughing and it sounded very wet and gunky but nothing was coming up. She has been very healthy up until this past year (she'll be 13 next week) but this last year has been very challenging for her. We're learning way more than we wanted to about being sick.

What makes you feel like you can't breath? Could there be a mucus plug or something? Sorry if I sound ignorant... Gratefully I haven't had that much experience with the girls being really sick...so we're learning...

Thanks very much.
