Got lung ache

Sad so far, touch wood, my asthma has been fairly ok with the whole being pg thing but today for the first time, I'm feeling a bit grim. Have been having 'growing' pains today so have been teeing to just not rush around so much but am now sitting on sofa with what I can only describe as lung ache over my right lung. It's a feeling I am quite familiar with, and usually is a precursor to me having issues with my asthma(goes back to when i had pleurisy apparently). Work are not that supportive of me being pg gnerally and I'm under pressure to keep up long hours and also to travel (that is currently u deer discussion with the consultant who sAys I'm not fit to fly). And I am being i terviewed at work on Friday for a promotion I shd have automatically got but for the fact I announced I am pg. There is no real point to this post, just feeling a bit down and sorry for myself and praying that it's not my asthma as i really don't want to have to take steroids or go into hospital. Haven't told DH either as he will panic. Fingers crossed it goes soon!

You're allowed a moan Grin.

Enters possibly but probably not helpful suggestion mode

Why not find something you love doing to take your mind off your worries, but nothing too strenuous! I know that dull ache in the chest feeling well. And don't get me started on work... I'm actually considering quitting before my next shift - just never going back.

This website recommends sitting upright to alleviate the pain, but does also repeat that it tends to occur before an asthma attack Sad.

It's been a while since you posted this, so I hope you're feeling better now either way.
