Gasping For Breath

I got some done ironing today, I don't normally iron because of my weak arm, I expect I'll be in pain tomorrow. 
Today I thought my Asthma was starting to play up again, but it could be COPD, I can't tell the difference between Asthma and COPD because it feels enough the same, it feels like I might have a chest infection, then again it could well be 🤷 I'll just have to keep an eye on that. I phoned the chemist to order my rescue pack of Antibiotics and steroids just incase I need them. 

I had a collapse feeling come over me today, I had a weird flutter feeling in my chest and gasped for breath and felt so tired, this happens a lot, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and I wake at night gasping for breath. 
I had to rest on my sofa this afternoon I could hardly keep my eyes open and felt so fatigued it could have been because I done some ironing, then again I feel like that almost everyday. 

I had a telephone consultation with my GP this afternoon only to confirm my referral for sleep apnea, I don't know what to expect with that. When the nurse came last week she said I would most likely have to sleep with a mask on to record my sleep patterns. 

All my illnesses seem to be getting worse and more frequent. I don't know where I am with all the illnesses I've got, if it's not one it's another.
