They started the breathing treatment and I passed out. Next thing I know I'm on an ambulance ( so much for avoiding the er lol). Seems I was having all the symptoms of a heart attack. They kept me overnight for monitoring, but my heart is perfectly fine. Appears it was a combo, of asthma, stress, and not eating. Threw everything out of wack. So they sent me home yesterday with antibiotics, steroids and a new blood pressure medication. I took today off to recoup.. thank God I did.. slept for 14 hours. lol Gonna work my part time job tonight because its very easy and I can bring my clients home here for part of the time. So almost as relaxing as staying home. Hopefully I will be rested enough for work tomorrow. lol

I hope you're feeling better. Lung stuff is a pain to deal with. I have C.O.P.D and asthma so can empathise wholly.
