DawnM Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) UGH. I have posted that we have all had the flu since we left for vacation.......well, mine seems to have taken a weird turn. I am better. No fever anymore, I can get up and around, eat, etc.... But I am still having trouble breathing. I can feel the girgling in my lungs when I breath. I had pneumonia 2 years ago and this seems a little bit like that although not nearly as severe. It is very painful to cough....pain in my chest.

Ghee Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I would go see about it. If it seems similar to pneumonia, I wouldn't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Gurgling lungs? I would go in. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Dang. I would go in. I hope it is not pneumonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks guys. I will see how I am tomorrow and determine then if I can wait until Monday to see my doc (and just rest tomorrow) or if I should go to Urgent Care for an X-ray. Cost is the same, so that isn't a factor. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Does the "gurgling" clear when you cough? Are you getting anything up when you cough? I'm so sorry you are so sick!! I'd probably go in if I were you. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yslek Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Agree on going in. The one time I had (really, really bad) pneumonia, it started with the flu. My pulmonary Dr. said that it's a common chain of events; the immune system is busy fighting off the influenza virus, so the pneumococcal bacteria in the lungs grow out of control. :glare: Best to get treated ASAP.

DawnM Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 It seems to have cleared considerably today. It was every time I breathed in while I was lying down.

Catwoman Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks for the update, Dawn -- I was wondering if you were feeling any better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I still am recovering, but the breathing difficulty has let up. I have to go to the doctor for something else tomorrow, so I will follow up then. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
