Hi. I don't usually post as I have been away from the board for quite sometime. However I have had this nagging cough for over 2 weeks now.
I thought it was a cold...cold medicine didn't work...so then the 2nd week I tried Allergy OTC meds. That didn't work. Finally last Thursday I went to the doctor because I had sinus drainage that was bloody.
They treated me for bronchitis and gave me Advair and a Z pack. The Z pack ended yesterday and I am worried that I am not getting better. The Z Pack and Advair made my cough more severe all weekend and I had a slight fever on Sunday.
The only reason I am worried is because I know someone who had a cold that wouldn't go away and it ended up attacking their heart and now they have a pacemaker for the rest of their lives and I am terrified this is going to happen to me.
The cough is less today than it was yesterday but I am so tired from no sleep due to coughing. I just need some reassurance that this is going to clear up and not get worse. :doh:
