In 2018, Pullins experienced some breathing issues that she thought simply was part of her bronchial asthma condition that she has struggled with since she was in high school.
However, things took a turn for the worse as she felt “extreme gurgling” in her chest and her nebulizer failed to provide any relief.
“I felt immobile and I could not breathe whether I was sitting, standing or laying back. I was very scared, and it felt like I was drowning from the inside,” Pullins said.
