hi
Chest X-ray! You make me laugh this is the nhs we are talking about. You only get a chest x-ray if you still have an infection 6 weeks after your infection started! You get an x-ray if they suspect pnuemonia straight away. I know they should do a chest xray but they dont.
I dont have a temperature anymore and my cough is hardly anything now. At one point I could hardly breathe for coughing. I have a very slight ache in my right back bottom of my lung. Oxygen sats are ok.
I dont have a blood pressure cuff unfortunately so I can't tell you what its doing. A few years ago I was at the drs as I was dizzy and they did my blood pressure sitting down and then standing up and it plummeted but it was never followed up. It was just assumed it was doing this because I was sick.
With the weather as it is at the moment - snow and sub zero temperatures, Im just going to take it easy. Britain has basically come to a standstill so Im just going to wait until the craziness eases up!
Thanks again for all your replies
Love
Rach
