I know I am a bint but im really worried. I have had a cough for nearly 3 weeks now, started with a cold the last few days. I woke up today feeling awful, really achy and my head is banging. I went to see a GP today who said ive acute bronchitis. He said as I only had anti bs 3 weeks ago for a sinus infection I should see if my immune system can fight it off but if im still ill in 3 days to start anti bs he has prescribed.
I feel awful, my head is hurting, my head feels bunged up, im so tired and achy. My cough is a little better today though.
He gave me a print out to read so I understand it and ive scared myself silly now thinking I will get pneumoniahttp://www.baby-greenhouse.co.uk/smilies/sad.gif it also says if your headache gets worse see your GP, my head is banging so im worrying about meningitishttp://www.baby-greenhouse.co.uk/smilies/sad.gif
I feel so stupid but can anyone reassure me that bronchitis will go on its own and I won't get pneumonia or anything else?
I have my bloods on thursday, dr isn't doing a full blood count just ferritin and cholesterol but im so worried there is something serious wrong with me and thats why im getting sinus infections, coughs, etc.. all of the time. I wish he was doing a full blood count to reassure me abit, I need it right now but my bloods were fine 3 mths ago so I should take comfort from that.
I feel awful and finding today very difficult with 3 children to look after aswellhttp://www.baby-greenhouse.co.uk/smilies/cry.gif
Feeling sorry for myself, sorryhttp://www.baby-greenhouse.co.uk/smilies/sad.gif My nephew was born yesterday 5 weeks premature and I am gutted I cannot be with him and my sister today:weep:
