Whizbang you are so right about thinking it is asthma. I did the same thing, especially after a good belly laugh, I couldn't breath and would reach for my other half's inhaler. I think myself sort of lucky they found the MDS as I had annual haemo checkups due to my long term anaemia, high platelet count and high ESR. If I didn't I would assume a gp visit would just say I was unfit or had asthma. Just before I was dx my gp gave me antidepressants (which I didn't take), it wasn't in my head. I was falling asleep too often, I knew something was wrong, it wasn't normal. I was really upset that he gave me the anti depressants. I was lucky my annual haemo checkup was due and I pushed for a BMB, which was granted and how MDS was found. My GP believes it is a mistake because I do not fit the criteria such as being too young. So I changed my GP the other day.

SBK I forgot about the dizziness. I thought it was because I may not have eaten much for the day.

Thank you

Honey
