Hi guys,
I've been managing my HA fairly well for the past few weeks but feel I'm on the brink of a meltdown.
About 3 weeks ago I got a cold, nothing major but enough to make me feel rough. It eased off after a week or so but only a couple of days later I woke up feeling awful again and continued to feel rubbish until a couple of days ago. So, finally feeling like the cold is going and then last night my chest felt heavy, this morning it feels even worse and I'm a bit wheezy.
My mind is going crazy thinking ok everyone catches a cold but who has 2 bouts of cold and now possibly a chest infection in the space of 3 weeks???? Not forgetting that I'm waiting to see a chest specialist because I've been coughing up blood since October!!!! One of the symptoms of lung cancer is repeated chest infections.
I'm desperatly trying to put in practice everything I learnt in CBT but I'm not doing great to be honest. I feel so disappointed with myself, I was doing so well :weep:
