That would be scary. Nothing is worse than not being able to breathe.

Indeed! This is the important part:

---"The distinction is important because treatments for asthma and heart failure are different. Treatments for heart failure, including medications, can help improve your symptoms for both the heart failure and the cardiac asthma.

Overusing treatments for true asthma, such as rescue inhalers, may actually worsen cardiac asthma and could cause dangerous heart rhythms."

When I was pregnant and very swollen, I started wheezing. The wheezing went away as the swelling went down.

Now that I'm on Lyrica, and having alot of water weight gain, the wheezing is back. It got worse when I started Clonidine.

I bet it's a form of Cardiac asthma. I don't have asthma.

Excerpt:

. . . Even a single dose of acetaminophen can reduce the body�s levels of glutathione, a peptide that helps repair oxidative damage that can drive inflammation in the airways, researchers have found. . . .
