Rant about crappy health etc...

Aargh, as if having a really bad cough for over a month, and then a cold on top of it isn't enough, I now have really bad chest pains, especially when I breathe in. Sorry to whinge, it's just doing my head in! I'm breathless-ish cos of a stuffed nose, but when I try and breathe deeply or yawn, the left side of my chest hurts and feels tight. (I'm getting paranoid I have angina or something even though I know it's probably just due to my cough and cold.) I also have cracked knuckles because of dry skin, possible conjunctivitis starting, loads of work to do, am recovering (I think) from depression and my grandma just died. I'm really not having a good term! I've never been so ill! Think I need to ignore my work for tonight and go to bed. :frown:

Not really expeciting any responses, cos I'm not really looking for advice (well, unless you know how to get rid of chest pains!)- just needed a whinge, my friends must be getting a bit sick of me...

Healthier diet? Bit of excersize? Some Vitamin C?

Nope, it's not my diet- I eat pretty healthily, lots of fruit and veg, wholemeal etc. I usually try and do some exercise but at the moment talking makes me cough so running is not the best idea! Hopefully my chest won't hurt tomorrow after lots of sleep.

If you've been a bit stressed out and run down lately your more likely to come down with stuff unfortunately...try and take it easy for a coupla days, take some cough medicine and if the cough doesn't improve within the week go to the doctors :smile: Hope you feel better soon!

Aha, went to the doctor today and I apparently have a bacterial chest infection and mild asthma (hmm, I'm not so sure). So I now have antibiotcis and two inhalers and a peak flow measurer. Hopefully now I have some pills I'll start getting better!
