Is There A real Dr. HOUSE? URGENT!!!!?
I have been dealing with an epsodic attacks. This has left me with a tracheostomy. I was a 32 year old healthy nurse. In may of last year I fell to the ground at my sons baseball game unable to breath. I have since experienced over 30 simular attacks. I can not breath dispite the trach. unless assisted by ventaliton. Breaking every blood vessel in my face while having this attack is the newest of symptoms. These attacks last from hours to a day. Usuallyx-ray revelies fluid in lungs. I have seen every speciality Dr. I know of and no one has a clue. This past week I was in Teneseee Visiting my mom, while being air lifted to Nashville no one there still knows what could be causing what i consider to be life threating respitory failure attacks. I am awaiting an appointment at the mayo clinic, hoping for some anwsers. I just wish there was a real life House who would take my case.

That sounds like a very scary situation. I am not Dr. House and I don't have a diagnosis for you, but I had a few ideas. Has anyone with medical experience witnessed one of these attacks? It would be really useful to know what others have witnessed, such as what your heart rate and pulse were before, during and after an episode, what your breathing looked like (did it look like obstruction or complete lack of respiratory effort or something else), and whether you had any loss of consciousness or other neurological signs at those times. Maybe the doctors would consider ambulatory monitoring for some of these things. Maybe this type of additional information would help them figure out what is going on.
The other thing you must be very concerned about is your safety during these episodes. You might ask the doctors whether you should have a supply of oxygen or even an Ambu-Bag or something similar. It also sounds like it would not be safe to drive at this point.
I really hope they are able to figure out what is going on, and I hope you get better soon.
