Asthma Vs HyperactiveRespiratorySys


today was forced to the Pantai Specialist Hospital in Ipoh.  Yesterday, i experienced some breathing difficulties, which had persisted to the next morning.  Worries increased when i felt the chest pain too.

Walking into the hospital, we headed to the receptionist.  We were asked to go for a respiratory physician.  Waited for the doctor' for more than 3 hours.  suddenly the nurse told us to go for an X-ray scanning.  it was the doctor's  msg and we were asked to go back for his consultation after 2pm. 

X-ray a! Sounds serious leh.  hmm ,realised that, this is my 1st Xray scanning.  Coincidently, mama went to the loo when my name was anounced.  OMG, timidly i walked slowly towards the nurse. the Scanning was very very fast, took not more than 10 minutes.  relief.  at 1st, i even tot of those scanning which require us to lay down macam the dental visit. haha

then soon after that, my x ray film was out, n was reported Normal. No senget lungs too.. XD. Throughout the consultation, i was flooded with so many questions.  Dunno why, i felt myself started to confuse.  especially kept asked on the time and also the frequencies.  Many uncertainties arose and i became tongue twisted, only manage to reply with some silly smile.s  aiks.  his question memang make me speechless.  Yes or No also difficult giving! no joking

then the doctor finally concluded that, my respiratory system is hyperactive and very sensitive.  the bronchi or whatever thingy are too sensitive.  the respiratory passage closed up or narrowed in when there is some intolerable condition.  And my case was in the irregular patterns. 

Since no source was identified, option available is treating as the asthma.  Doctor prescribed the ventolin inhaler for me...He reminded me to go back for his consultation if the dose he suggested wasn't enough to cope with my condition.  if that happens, means that i really got the asthma. ><
