asthma

about 2 weeks ago, i found out about my asthma. at the begenining, i was pretty upset about it. i have been having trouble breathing for about 2 years and i think that my doctor got annoyed with me complaining so much that she sent me and my mom to go see another kind of doctor.

we went to him and he took a breathing test. the numbers were supposed to be close to 100, there were 3 numbers, 1 of them was good, the others were bad. for example, 1 of my numbers was 53, (not close enough to 100) they gave me some of the rescue inhaler (even thou they did not know if i had asthma yet), and then they waited 10 minutes and then they took the test again but the number was still low, 64. they looked at the numbers and they thought that i had asthma.

then they did an alergie test and it proved that i was alergic to cats, dust mites, and trees or somthing. they found out that i do have asthma. it is not as bad as i thought it would be. i take my inhaler once in the morning and once at night.

i also have a rescue inhaler that i bring to my basketball games in case i get really out of breath. my cousin josh also has asthma and my aunt emily out grew asthma.bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
