on friday after an early birthday garden party which involved a fair bit of booze!! i started coughing, i had a tickle in my throat. For a while ive had a lumpy dry throat that the docs didnt seem concerned about at all, anyway as i was coughing it made me vomit and there was quite a bit of blood.
To say i was scared was an under statement, however the alcohol made me a bit numb to the situation, i ran upstairs called 999 and a ambulance took me to hospital. they immediatley admitted me put a drip etc.
All my blood results came back normal and after 2 days i came home tonight, i have to go back for a camera down to my stomach, oh m im sooo scared, they think i may have an ulcer as i suffer really bad with acid and have been sick a few times before with it(but never any blood).
i was already taking losec 20mg but they have increased it to 40mg now.
i wasnt really in any pain just a slight discomfort aroung my right rib(which has been there for ages).
Anyway i have spent my 41st birthday in hospital though they let me come home tonight, i feel really scaredthat i will vomit again and see blood.
also the dry throat which feel like a lump that food keeps sticking to, is really bothering me. the doctor seems to think that tummy acid has caused that too.
sorry for my mega long post....but i wondered if anyone else has had this?
Im so worried at the moment ...even though being a health anxiety sufferer for years like i have, has probably caused this.
thanks very much for reading this...ps to top off the matter the poor man in the next bed (mixed ward) died this morning, which has made me sad, even though i didnt know him.
luv tracie xx
