Hi. My problems started a few months ago when I got flu-like symptoms severe chest pains. My family doctor could only squeeze me in at the end of the day. My appointment lasted literally about 5 minutes and she diagnosed me with a muscle spasm. She did not seem concerned with my respiratory symptoms. The pain did subside and the respiratory seemed to clear up on its own, but I never felt like I could breath very good and had a hard time exerting any type of energy. I assumed it was because I have gained weight. A few weeks ago I wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. Nausea and chest pain. No cough. I went to an urgent clinic and the doctor said I was wheezing and had sinusitis and bronchitis. Gave me an antibiotic and oral steroid. I did begin to feel better after about 5 days, but again, chest continued to feel heavy. I assumed with bronchitis it could take awhile. Now, about 4 days after my last prescritption doses, I get knocked on my butt again. This time my sinuses are severely blocked, chest pain, and now I have developed a pflegmy (sp) cough. I have also had low grade fevers (about 100-101) the last 3 nights. It usually comes on early evenings.
I wanted to give it a few more days before going back to the clinic. I do not have insurance but I'm worried that the doctors are missing something trying to keep my costs down. Should I be worried about anything?
