Ask Tara Live: Translating the Message of Breathing Difficulties

In this Ask Tara Live, I answer two questions from course members about lung and breathing issues and what they might mean.

The first question is from Julie…she asks:

Hey Tara - 

Have a bit of a complex issue for you.

I’ve had asthma off and on since childhood. I always thought it had something to do with allergies, but it went away completely when I went to college. That was a massive shock to me, but I was happy about it.

Now, all of the sudden, I am getting asthma again. I went through the Station 4 stuff in the course, but I am still having a hard time making a connection. Any idea what might be going on? Do you think I am getting allergies again? Or what’s up with this? 

Thanks for taking a look at this for me - 

Julie

The second question is from Selena:

Hi Tara- 

My dad has COPD, and I am wondering if you could help me translate that.

What’s happening in his COPD is that he just cannot get enough air. He says that it feels like a tight band around him all the time. He also says that he feels like his right lung is tighter than his left, which he can’t really explain. When doctors look at it, he seems to have more scarring in his right lung than his left. 

He is a Vietnam veteran, so the VA docs are saying that it could be exposure to chemicals in the war. But that doesn’t completely make sense to me; I wonder if there is a connection to my brother being absent from the family? 

He also has high blood pressure in the right artery, so I feel like there’s got to be a connection there. 

Thanks so much for any help - it’s horrible to see him struggling to breathe sometimes, and I’d love to see if I could help him by translating this and helping him to heal from whatever it is. 

Have a good day - 

Selena
