For the past couple of weeks Ive been fighting what I had beleived to be a cold/sinus/allergy junk, but after dealing with several days of it I finally gave in and called the dr. I was due to see her anyways for some other stuff.
Upon barely waking myself to meet my 8:30 time slot, I got up, got dressed ( barely ) and headed out. By the time I was standing infront of the receptionist I was coughing, wheezing and ready to keil over.
When Dr saw me she kinda looked puzzled and said " your here because your sick? or hear because your asthma is out of control? " Huh? I dont have asthma!
to which she graciously pointed out all my symptoms and read off my dx : ASTHMATIC SYMPTOMS EXADURBATED BY ALLERGIES.
I didnt know thats what ive been dealing with but not totally shocked. So with 2 new inhailers, and 3 new meds ( a pill, a spray and another spray ) I am armed to fight this battle and see if things improve. She said if this is in deed what it is I should easily see huge improvements by monday!! Oh god, thats sound to my ears.
Upon returning home I googled the signs/symptoms of Asthma and was shocked to find the exact sym's I listed to the Dr this morning :
- Frequent cough esp at night
- Losing your breath easily or shortness of breath
- Feeling very tired, weak or "drained " even during simple tasks
- Decreases or change in lung function
- Signs of cold, allergies ( cough, runny nose, sore throat, and headache )
- Feeling tired, depressed, moody
- Swelling
- Trouble sleeping
So there I have it I could have written the symptoms/diagnosis myself had I known. Lets see what happens now!
