Stomach pressure/ esophagus pressure sometimes causing issues. Later at night. Stayed up until 2 am was mostly fine no inhaler
May 12th
Seems good today 8 am to noon
May 13 to 14 pretty good. A little may 14th at night. May have forgotten Claritin 14th and ate fried takeout. Diet Coke too.
May 15 it's starting again. Minor SOB. Minor chest tightness and little pains w tingling. Some tickling cough and belly swelling. Usually this is what happens the day before the bad day. Going to focus on breathing a lot. Try to keep calm.
1 pm took Pepcid to see if it eased stomach pressure on heart/lungs. Not sure yet
3 pm w cardiologist. Maybe it's stress from having this appointment and will go away. If not it has been 9 days since the last attack. That's 2 days longer.
Was still more time w pressure than without. Bed at 2 am. Slept well.
May 16th. Woke 7:30 am. Was not bad until eating (maybe too much?). May have to seriously cut back calories temporarily. 8 to noon was okay. Still some times w pressure, slight cough. Ate fried chicken sandwich at 11:30. Took Pepcid after. Let's see what happens.
Was not great but not too bad. Eating definitely makes it flare up. Ricola helped going to try peppermint tea
May 17th
Did 3 hours weed wacking. Same pattern was okay but got harder past 5 pm
May 18th
Woke up w chest congestion, red eyes, a little chest tightness. Maybe from pollen and crap plus it's cloudy etc.

HEY LOOK FOR PATTERN: eat high fat high cholesterol food. Then nausea. Dizzy. BP and HR jump. Pain in chest. SOB lasts 3 hours. Next day trouble breathing all day. Next day lower left rib pain. A few good days. Eat junk/too much. Repeat.
Water makes it easier. Ricola helps a lot. Tea w peppermint may help.
4 pm. And like tgat it disappears.
Did fine rest of the night just slight dizzy. No more inhaler. Did stream until 2 am.
May 31.
SOB no pain or pressure just lungs tickle. Why does green tea w peppermint work? Slight pain (ache) left pectoral closer to breast bone.

2:40 pm woke up from nap w heartburn. Prilosec
3:00. Bad attack. Sob. Dizzy. GERD feeling. Breathing exercises. Forced coughing. 3:45 Took ricola. Green and peppermint tea. Some relief by 4 pm
Not sure what the heck that was. Maybe heartburn w nap caused acid up then GERD plus crap in lungs. So frustrating. Such a bad end of the week.
5 pm still happening but not as bad
6 pm feeling very light headed and shaky. Got bad again. Really bad. GERD dizzy
Was a very hard night until maybe 7 pm. GERD plus dizziness. Laying on side helped.
