Hi. Richard I am a musician also. I have had a few attacks in the middle of a lengthy song. I play in a blues band with an old Black man named Neal Patmon And when this happens, I try to focus on the fans and my bass line:unfortunately, this was tough.I always keep my O2 tank by my rig. I hit the tank when I am having an attack between songs. Since our shows sell out in smaller clubs, The crowed thinks I get depraved of oxygen because I play so energetically. Sort of adds to the act. Have you considered caffergot suppositories ? I insert before we perform, especially when I am out of remission.
musically yours, David Chalfant
