Hi,
I'm having my first bad crash of 4 Weeks + with new symptoms of feeling like my lungs are smaller and my heart is palpitating. Has anyone experienced this as something that goes away with a crash is over? Thanks!

Sounds like you're having an OI crash. Do you have a home BP meter? You might learn something by measuring your BP and HR first thing in the morning and several times during the day when you feel the worst.

If it's OI, there might be some treatments that could help.
