As the day wore on today I kept getting worse so I decided to go to the Dr. By the time I got there I could barely get any air into my lungs. My chest hurt, my back hurt and my head hurt from lack of oxygen. Each breath sounded worse! I told the girl at the desk I couldn't breathe and she proceeded to get together a bunch of forms for me to fill out. I couldn't even tell you what I wrote or if it's ledgible. I just wanted some help! After about 30 minutes of rasping for breath in the waiting room I finally got to go back. 3 1/2 hours later I am back home. My oxygen levels were low. Duh! I had two nebulizer breathing treatments, a steroid shot and came home with 4 prescriptions. Diagnosis - Bronchitis, sinus infection, respiratory distress. If my oxygen levels had not come up after the treatments I would have been going to the hospital. But thankfully they really helped and I'm feeling better except that I still have a croupy cough, my nose is dripping, my head hurts, my heart is racing from the treatments and I'm shaking like a leaf. But at least I can breathe. Going to rest now.
