Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
A dear friend of mine passed away from a severe asthma attack 1 month ago. She had 1 severe attack 1 year prior which led to hosp. She did overnights , was feeling ill and her face appeared 'puffy' as per her work partner and she left work early and told them that she wouldn't be in for the following overnight. She got home a round 1 am, went to sleep and woke up with the attack. She went into cardiac arrest and couldn't be revived. She recently confided in a friend that she found a lump in her breast over a year ago and was also taking a pain med she claimed To be for stomach pain , but it is a pain med for breast CA and used for depression. I am feeling like it was more than the Asthma and she just didn't want to tell anyone as she said that she wouldn't want her family To worry about the lump because they couldn't handle it. Does it sound like it is a combo of things. She was 34 years old with a whole life ahead of her.
