Hey Greg (and Dan), Well, I just spent 15 minutes dictating and correcting an e-mail to you and the whole computer shut down. Try number two!
I have had asthma since I was very little (hereditary). But it is only triggered by a three or four things. These are animal dander, humidity, the powder found in latex gloves, and sometimes nerves. > Although very rarely the latter. Living here in the desert with such low humidity has never triggered an asthma attack. But I remember when we lived in Virginia seven years ago my room would get stuffy and I would take a puff of albuterol from my inhaler many mornings before my husband went to work when I would be alone. That brought nerves into it a little. I don't think I would go to the extreme of having an oxygen tank unless you were diagnosed with some type of lung problem. Perhaps when you do get overheated (stufy room too maybe) along with anxiety you are experiencing a form of asthma. Like Dan, just a puff for two of albuterol from my inhaler helps me breathe better no matter what the case. I have not used it in a long, long, long time but it is always in my backpack just in case.
