I got up an knew something was wrong, I was coughing a lot.

I do understand some coughing a clearing my throat when I 1st get up as I use a Bi-pap machine to be able to sleep at night. If I did not use it I would start a lot of issues I had before I found out I had sleep apnea.

Anyway, I got up coughing an sputtering trying to clear my throat an lungs. I took a bath to try an ease the cough an as well some water.

It didn't stop, it only got worse slowly.

By the time I was dressed an drove to work I knew my breathing was @#$%&! up. I am trying to almost repeated cough an hack up whats in my lungs + headaches from less oxygen.

I must either have a chest cold or the beginning of an Upper Respiratory Infection I think.

It will all depend on how I feel in the morning, if its a bit to a lot better maybe a cold which I can fight off with meds though it will take time as its my immune system being BUTT again. sweatdrop

If its worse, its likely an Upper Respiratory Infection an Ill need to see a Dr.
Pneumonia could be fatal with my immune system issues I suffer.

Oh.... I have been trying to not jinx myself but, I have small kidney stones again.

Sigh, crying crying crying

I managed today only because
A. It was my short shift day 7 - 3,

B. I was able to focus enough to push through working while 1/2 breathing & coughing up stuff out of my irritated lungs.

C. I was able to get home an medicate immediately as well as take a warm & cool bath to help make my breathing relax from coughing to only occasional coughs.

D. Eat something, I had all of a bowl of veggies & chicken ( corn & mashed potatoes ) an tea all day till I got home. Knowing trying to eat an coughing could choke me.

Please remember me. emotion_hug
