Hi all, I really was not too sure about posting this detail, but now that I have begun I will if I may continue - A few days ago I visited my doctors surgery because of nasal catarrh lasting over 12 weeks that had following a cold.
He was a new young doctor, who seemed hesitant about what to suggest for me. I have no other symptoms. He asked me if I smoked, I said I gave up smoking over 40 years ago, and never was a heavy smoker, he asked me about asbestos, I said I might have been exposed, but no different from any normal individual- I worked for a building company, but in the office.
He quickly listened to my chest, then said that he would send me for a chest x-ray. Like I say, I have no other symptoms, I might cough 2 or three times a day, and blow my nose two or three times a day just to clear the mucas, which is now almost nothing, and never seen blood. I fast walk for 30 minutes each day, have no difficulty with breathing deeply, and have a very good appetite. Even so, I cannot lift my mood, just waiting for the result of the x-ray, which I am told will take 2 weeks.
