So today at work, on my way out to lunch, it smelled like a king-size deep fryer exploded or something. That’s the best way to describe that smell. If you’ve ever smelled room temperature frying oil that you might use to fry fish or whatever, that’s the best description. The lingering stench was AWFUL the rest of the day.

Sometime after lunch, my asthma was acting up. I haven’t officially been diagnosed because it comes and goes. It also doesn’t bother me. If I hold my breath and/or cough, it’ll go away on its own. Usually when I get little breathing panic attacks like that, it’s because I haven’t eaten. I ate breakfast and lunch so I wasn’t sure where it was coming from.

My only solution was to cough. I did, trying to jump start my lungs when I stopped to think about it. But my lungs continued to spaz on me. I drank water too, don’t know if it helped but it was something to do. I tried to ignore it the rest of the day.

When I left and walked to clock out, I was doing breathing exercises through my mouth, trying to shake it off that way. I think it worked because I’m breathing normally now. Or it faded away ’cause I left the scene of the crime, haha.

I have a bit of a residual headache, but I can deal. I can’t run to the doctor because I don’t have insurance, or even Quick Care ’cause I don’t have any money. Life sucks but what can you do?

I’m just glad I didn’t make suca or anything ’cause that would’ve SUCKED lol.

    I’m glad you’re alright! I wasn’t aware you sorta had asthma so that’s why I tweeted you asking if you were allergic to something you might’ve eaten.

    LoL I see what you did there…or maybe you didn’t do it on purpose(suca and sucked)

    ?: Yes, but I suca’d water. I might’ve blogged about this like 4 years ago, I don’t remember. There was that summer I was working in the city and I had to take the bus everyday. I didn’t have anything in my stomach that morning and the bus kept stop/starting because of traffic. Well, that made me nauseous and by the time the bus arrived at Port Authority and I was so close to getting out of the bus, I vomited water. It was embarassing. I just couldn’t hold it in any longer. I’m just glad it was only a bit of liquid and not a full breakfast that I threw up. People had to walk through the aisle and I already felt bad about it :/

    Oh dear, glad you’re OK now hun!

    Only time I remember was when I was fasting last year and I felt like I might throw up, but luckily some fresh air and breathing exercises made it all OK again.
