My health anxiety is making me so flipping miserable. It’s affecting my life , I have small children and I am so petrified all of the time.
I had a virus in the last month which affected my chest, one evening about 3 weeks ago I coughed up a few flecks of bright red boood after a very dry hours long coughing fit.
I think that has stayed at the back of my mind.
I’ve been wheezy the last week, I have asthma and sometimes I can’t tell if it’s in my head or not, whether I do need to use my blue pump just to get a bigger breath . I usually use it every day anyway but at the moment I’m focused on needing it every 4 hours , whether it’s psychological or not I honestly can’t tell.
Tonight I coughed up phlegm and there was a red speck in it but could also have been something else as I was making dinner at the time (washed my hands obviously!!)
Then I googled lung c and wish I hadn’t
I don’t know what I’m hoping for , just some advice to put my mind at ease.
I’m too scared to go to the doctor , and don’t even know if I should because I don’t know if I should be worried. So fed up.
Thanks in advance of any replies
