i have been emailing my doc about my wheezing and coughing for a few weeks now cause i'm a big baby.
i stayed home sick tuesday cause of eating some bad bueno (fast food) i think. anyway, i hardly coughed all day. since i've been back to work yesterday, i've been coughing again and wheezing today. have a lot of drainage but it seems clear now and i'm not coughing my head off but wheezing quite a bit. i started taking the steroid he gave me again today (took some on monday then got sick monday night) - but stopped the antibiotic cause i thought that was what made me sick maybe too.
my work is sick of me being sick (me too duh!) so i'm thinking about going to urgent care tonight so i don't have to take off. i know they won't do anything else but now my thoughts are going to asthma. stupid? i've never wheezed this long. when i breathe in, it sounds like someone opening a paper bag or something, sometimes makes a high pitched noise but not often and no trouble breathing really. walked up 4 flights of stairs at lunch outside and thought i would die though lol
everyone tells me this cough just lingers. it's only been 2.5 weeks and i believe that but should i still be wheezing and having it off and on? i was inside all day tuesday and never went out. my sister said our air in oklahoma is messed up right now and a lot o people are having issues.
my doc said to just forget about the antibiotic and come see him if i don't clear up cause i told him my cough was nearly gone on tuesday - it's done this before in this round of bronchitis too though. think i'm better, then bam! sick of it!
ok thanks for listening to my vent. :P
