Is It Normal To Feel Tired All The Time After An Asthma Attack?

Hi in 1989 (26) years ago, I was taken to hospital while having an Asthma attach, nothing unusual I had been down this road many times before since I was 9. They had a few challenges & put me in ICU, my lungs burst & took a time out on my heart for 21 minutes, it left me in a coma for 3 weeks etc etc. Since then I have a few challenges and they all are a inconvenience I wonder if this could also be the reason why I get so tired all the time? It is a pain, I try a little work out in the mornings, some squats, dead lifts, bench press etc only for 45 minutes a day, I shower, have some fruit, green tea a protein drink 30g/m's & then I am stuffed & crash for an hour or so. It even happens worse if I do not work out. Mornings are the best time of day for me, come 10.30 on I start to slow down again.

I play a few games of chess on line, win & lose a few I try & read on line & books. I also try a Sudoku now & then med level.Testosterone stuff they have where I buy protein Powder but on a pension I can not afford a great deal of these & I have tried some but I still end up the same.

Hi I'm Greg do you have any Idea's here? Or is it just because of the cardiac arrest back in 1989? Thanks

Hello Greg,
It is possible that the tiredness may be a symptom of uncontrolled asthma/rhinitis that is ongoing as uncontrolled rhinitis do cause fatigue due to disturbed night sleep. Also sedative antihistamine tablet (medication) use will add to the fatigue.

Please get a thyroid check (TSH), Vit D3 levels to ensure they are normal.
I would not suggest taking supplements on a regular basis.

Best Wishes.
