What can I do to decrease my SOB symptoms? I am pretty sure this stuff is going to kill me. COPD is apparently not my problem, as indicated by my near 100% O2 onboard level, consequently a canister of O2 will do me little good. I have identified various triggers of my gasp-attacks and most often head that mess off before it gets nasty. My fear is that something as mundane as choking on some water and then have this stuff kicks. in . I m dead-meat!! Please help. Does this make any sense? YYYY@YYYY . Ted Davis
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. COPD is chronic progressive lung disease. COPD patients tend to develop psychological symptoms in their terminal life. So your current symptoms, fear of death, choking sensation, gasp attacks etc are more suggestive of psychosis. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. You will also need antipsychotic drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright with counselling sessions and antipsychotic drugs. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
