Is this normal with asthma?!


Question: Is this normal with asthma!?
I have asthma!. I've noticed that sometimes when I have a difficult time breathing, my hands and feet turn bright red!. They become really red for a short period of time!. When this happens I get really light-headed and dizzy!. This usually happens during the night, when my asthma is the worst!. Does anybody know why this happens!? Does this have anything to do with asthma!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I am also an asthmatic!. This has happened to me a couple of times, and it was very scary at first!. My asthma specialist says that when this happens I am actually hyperventilating!. He explained to me that most asthmatics will actually get too much oxygen during the first and middle stages of an asthma attack because our lungs are working so hard!. When this starts to happen, I concentrate on taking slow breaths in through my nose then back out through pursed lips (like I'm going to drink from a straw)!. This really helps me!. Of course, please please mention this to your doctor next time you see him/her!. We are all different and you may have something else totally going on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It has something to do with asthma, but you have something else too (but idk the name)

when you have a difficult time breathing, you don't get enough oxygen to give to your blood!. so the blood in your body starts searchin around for a different place for oxygen besides your lungs since there isnt enough!. it looks in your hands and feet, which is why they turn red!. because all the blood rushes to your hands and feet, you dont have as much in your head, which makes you feel light headed!. you may be allergic to something in the air where you sleep!.

hope it gets better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
