I went to doctor this morning for two reasons... one- I have been sick for 2 weeks, and two- my mom noticed that I have irregular heart beat/rate...


Doctor found out that I have brothochsis (sp?) and I was lucky that my heartbeat isn't low below I believe low HR is 50 or something.... I am above 60 and I am lucky I went to DR before I had any heart attack because of heart diease history in my family....

This weekend I am going to stay home and rest, not go anywhere.... I need to recover than be more active.
 
I am sorry that you dont feel good. I wish that you feel better soon as possible.
 
Thanks.. Doctor also recommond me to quit smoking, which I did yesterday before she told me to because I notice I have been sicker more, so I decided to stop smoking...
 
Wow.. that's good.. I know it would be hard for you to quit but you can do it! :)

Oh you meant Bronchitis? Yep that can cause from smoking too. I've had that before twice already and it's not a fun thing to go through. Also you can get it from breathe in dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. It takes a long time to heal, a week or so I believe. Take it easy Rachel and I do hope you feel better. Get some good rest, you needed it. :hug:
 
Hey I wish you well and I hope you recover from that soon. I've had it in the past and the cold air made it worse. Get plenty of rest. ;)

Yep, don't smoke while taking medication for Bronchitis. Those pink pills are very expensive, I remember somewhere around 40 bucks or 50 bucks. I'm not sure if you had insurance to cover that, Some insurance carriers don't even cover those pills I don't know why, That's strange. Are you taking those huge pink pills?
 
That expensive??? :eek3:

Well, I am taking amoxicillin 500 MG, I have to take it 3 times a day for 10 days.... I have insurance but I only co-pay.. .I also am on an inhaler as well... I decided to stop smoking anyways...
 
Get well soon, racheleggert. Have a good rest and take it easy.
 
Aww I haven't had Bronchitis before, but my sister and a friend of mine did, I sure hope you'll feel better soon, and is very glad you quit smoking too :hug:
 
I hate bronchitis.. I had to get antiobitcs for that. It really sucks. For TJ he took singular pills and antiobitcs and updraft treatment.

TJ got it few times from second hand smoke? same as pnuemonia. he had croups many times from smoking.. yet no one believed me that it is from smoking.. now no one smoke in house for 4 yrs here and at his fathers house.. look at tj.. he dont cough anymore?? i told gabe SEE? i told you so! he gulped! smoking can and will make a kid sick.. even give a kid ear infection too. smoking is bad ! ugh! i wish smoking was never invented! sigh!

i hope you will get well soon, Racheleggert! :)
 
My house have been smoke free for like one year or so before my neieces were born. When I used to smoke, I have to go outside to smoke. Now I am happy I don't smoke anymore... I am glad I stopped before winter sets in.

I had bronchitis about 10 years ago. Not only was very ill. My whole body turned bright red.

My doctor told me the strangest fact. The human body can be allergic to an invading organisim (in this case bronchitis germ). The body can have a reaction like the way my body turned red... weird huh...:eek3:
 
Get well eh, Racheleggert.. I hope your health will improve some good deal... just take it easy like all of us folks been saying in here in this topic... I'm sure ya will recover well enough..
