Don't wait to go to Dr.
Since early Dec, I had had a cold a bronchial cold, or so I thought. Wife went to her Dr, rather a fill in, with identical condition and that is what he told her it was and wouldn't even prescribe an aspiring.
Sides hurt etc. Finally I couldn't go. Felt like I was walking knee deep in carpet. So very tired. Went, to hospital, on Jan 2 from Dr office. Bi lateral pneumonia and sinus infection.
Four days and four bags of powerful antibiotics intrevenously got out. Almost 51/2 bags. First bag burned my vein and itched like..., so they changed it. Still on oral antibiotics and nasal sprays etc.for another couple weeks and oxygen.
Coughed up blood and other stuff. Bled from sinus along with discharge. Oxygen level was in the eighties. Normal should be 96 or higher.
I've had similar occurances in the past, including one at Grand Canyon, when I thought I was going to die. Chalked it up to a bad bronchial cold.
It came close this time. Left scar on left lung. I didn't want to go to the Dr and be told it was just a cold and hit with big deductibles and copays, regardless.
When you are sick don't worry about what others think and go to the Dr.
