Scary Night

[LuckyLady]

Wow what a night!!

I woke up around 1am with a scratchy throat no big deal occasional cough, got up went to the couch got a cup of yogurt to sooth my throat. Went to bed fine, felt fine oh well eat some yogurt feel better...Nope drink some water, getting worse ....WTF

Every time I breathed in that scratchy feeling was there, and took my breath away every time. Continued to cough every time I took a breath in or a drink to the point of where I couldn't breath. I knew I wasn't driving myself to the emergency room and I really seen no full reason to go because it just came out of no where and knew it would pass eventually. I could find my cell phone and didn't know any one's cell #'s because most anymore do not have home phones.

I picked up the land line and called my brother's house and told him that I couldn't breath and they could tell I couldn't talk. They were there within 5 minutes and I sat in the bathroom with the shower running while they were making me something hot to drink to sooth my throat after sitting there a while I started to feel better and after the hot cocoa I was all better not a scratch.

I have never not been able to not breath before but all I know was it was scary. I still don't know what happened and how it even started maybe I inhaled a fuzzy or something from a blanket. Talk about rough sleep!

All better now!

Sounds like croup, but that usually only affect young kids.

Could be a viral infection or allergic reaction. Moist air usually helps. Treating yourself with hot steam in the shower made me think of croup. My kid had that once and actually got better immediately with cold air, not hot.

See the doctor is always a good idea.
