I only got 65%

I used to have asthma attacks when I was little. One day, it stopped. I was super happy. My first rain shower was when I was 14 (I couldn't do that before because just a cold led to an asthma attack and emergency room).

As I grew up, I'm always tired. I thought that's just how my body is and I accepted that fact.

Turned out, I've been breathing with only 65% of the capacity of a normal person

My Trachea has been constantly flaming, causing me not being able to breath 100% of my capacity.

I blame my shitty memory to this (lol)

Just wanted to share, because I've been living my life of 28 years like this, not knowing I could've done something to fix it (on medication now).

So if you feel or know something is not right, seek help, educate yourself, do something!

I have scoliosis, because of my rib cage i only have 80-85% lung capacity. fucking sucks.

It took 'people' 22 years to find out I had CFS.. My mom was just 'You're in pain? Nah bet you're just having a cold' 'you should sleep more

Thank you. I had the spirometry done and it showed right away, but it really depends on your symptoms. I'm no doctor =D

I spent most of my life with headaches 5+ of 7 days a week, some of them very severe. Now on meds and I have nearly none. It's nice.

That happened to me too. Had severe sinus infection, didn't know why I had headaches continuously.

I thought mine were from chronic sinus problems, but they were actually migraines.
