So after years of going to hospital and getting misdiagnosed, I finally got a diagnosis. The obvious one that doctors before the current one didn& #39;t bother to check. When your patient tells you: my entire family has asthma while complaining about chest pain that never goes away...

You& #39;d think that doctors would go... "Oh, maybe you have asthma. Let& #39;s check." But you& #39;d be wrong. I was told everything else but that. Including that maybe I& #39;m imagining that I& #39;m sick. Meanwhile, sleeping was becoming a problem, breathing while seated an issue etc. Pure hell.

One week into medication, and might I say at the worst time possible, aka corona time, I& #39;m sleeping like a bag of rocks. I feel like a whole new person. Knowing how many people have similar symptoms to the ones I had, I think checking for asthma should be more common than it is.

I& #39;m sure every country has a disease prevalence and I remain convinced that Kenya& #39;s is everything and asthma. It should just be commonplace to test for it. Or medicate it. Anyway, I& #39;m not a medic. I don& #39;t know why they didn& #39;t test for it the last 4 years...

Just glad I& #39;m finally feeling like a human being and the pain has gone away. Though, thanks to corona virus, I have to be extremely careful now. According to NHS website, double quarantine where people are just in quarantine.
