(Think of a person with bronchitis, he coughs and there is a lot of rattling in the chest. The person sleeps and gets apnoea, which makes him get up as if he choked, so he fears sleeping. GRINDELIA comes near LACHESIS in this respect. It also has ulcers that burn like latter. The patient has some heart condition, probably CCF, he finds it difficult to breathe or he has associated gastric symptoms which causes GERD and precipitates asthma/ dyspnoea. Such patients need GRINDELIA. It is also used as an antidote to RHUS TOX poisoning locally and also helps in burns.)
