There are some pretty nasty fires in my area that have been blanketing us with ash on a daily basis. Lately at night I have had terrible periods of time where I feel as if there are two hands wrapped tightly around my neck, which does actually begin to physically swell below my throat. I’ve just seen a doctor, who did indeed acknowledge the swelling, but assured me that since my blood was being oxygenated properly I had nothing to worry about at the moment and that I should see him again next week if I continue to have problems. I’ve not wanted to go to the ER when these attacks hit (usually about 2 or 3 in the morning) because of the extremely prohibitive cost of emergency care that might be unnecessary. So long as I stay calm, the swelling doesn’t intensify and subsides within a few hours.
On the plus side, it’s got me praying my breviary again. But I could really use your prayers, too. I’m 23 and I should not be having issues like this! Know that I am offering this up for all of you, in particular for those of you with breathing problems that are more serious than mine.
