So I'm getting older, just like everyone else. And I'm not fit, I'm not going to lie about that either. But my body has been taking the piss recently.
I used to have Asthma when I was a kid. Most the time not really that bad, just the odd problem with breathlessness, but due to the huge amount of extra curricular stuff I did, it was probably get at bay.
However, in recent years where exercise has been secondary to my theatre work, my body has become quite unhealthy. The exercise stuff especially has become non-existent : s
Well, til recently, this wasn't a problem. But due to increased stress levels of trying to re-route my work career and not exercising, my asthma is back and is currently not looking to leave.
The main problem started a few months back when I wasn't enjoying work, had come second to someone else for a job I really wanted and was generally getting stressed with silly things. On the way to a freelance job on a random day, I started getting a very tight chest (making me feel like I was wearing a tight corset) and this followed with having odd times when I found it hard to breathe. Originally we thought it was a chest infection and I was given an inhaler and stuff to take.
Fast forward a month or so one and I suddenly couldn't breathe whilst at work and then it got worse over the following days. Since this event I have been to the doctors several times and now have a blue, purple and brown inhaler and follow up prescriptions.
Unfortunately, moving on to today, I am still having problems and we are still unsure if it is just a random asthma problem, a chest infection that won't go or stress - whatever it is, my breathing sucks at the mo.
I have started trying to eat healthier stuff when I can and do a lot more walking etc, but until the problem clears up a bit, I find it very hard to do much without coughing or having to taken my inhaler.
I wish all those years ago when things were easier and less stressful, that I had enjoyed them more and really realised how lucky I was.
Due to my dry sense of humour on this one, I thought the title was very appropriate for the subject matter. Blog title comes from this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7duPNQCp-w4
