Sick all weekend
 
Well on friday night i was coughnig like a little bit. I didn't thnik much of it and went on as usual. I wake up to go to work on saturday morning to go to work and my chest is aching and I'm coughing like crazy. Stupid me goes to work anyways and asks the boss if i can lkeave at 12 cause i feel like ****. I walk out of work at 12 like i was told i could soaking wet because i ahd to water the mums:mad: . All day saturday I just laid on the couch donig nothnig and comnig on the computer for a few hours. On saturday i was thinking maybe i have pneaumonia from gonig out for lunch everyday without a coat on. But being the stubborn person I am i refuse to go to the hospital.

I wake up today and i am feeling better and everythnig then i lay down on the couch and start feeling really shitty and start coughnig my lungs out. I came to the conclusion about an hour and a half ahgo that i only cough when laying down and that when I'm sitting here at the computer i barely ever cough.:confused:

So here I am at 3:10am writing this because all I do when i lay down is cough which means i can't possibly sleep:mad:

I think i'll go to the doctors tomorrow and get checked out

AT least i don;'t have to go to school tomorrow:D

I had the same thing, it was like I was having hard time breathing. If I tried to take normal breaths of air I couldn't, I would just start coughing. I was in bed for about 40 hours straight. I went to the doctors and they hooked me up to a machine to test my heart and it was pretty much fine and I had blood work done but they never called back with the results. I am pretty fine now so I didn't bother much with them. I think something is going around like that.

Hope you feel better,

I'm now entering week number three having the flu. The first week it was mostly nasal, and I just figured it was allergies because we were having hard-core Santa Ana winds. When the winds stopped, the runny nose didn't, and a fever showed up. I was on the sofa most of the week, and felt better Friday. Saturday started at 3:30 in the morning coughing. Have been coughing ever since. Actually, i feel pretty crappy and seem to have all of the symptoms now, but I don't believe in getting sick unless my Mom is around, and I won't be seeing her until next Christmas. So, it must just be my imagination.

I wish.

Take care,
-Chris

Rage.... sounds like pneumonia symptoms to me. I am a studying paramedic and I've learned a lot so far. You cough when you are lying down because you have fluid in your lungs (pulmonary edema). When you are standing up it is in the bases of your lungs and doesn't get in the way of gas exhange when you breath. Therefore you don't cough. When you are lying down the fluid goes to your posterior and possibly enters your terminal bronchioles which have tiny hairs that detect secretions/contaminants. If they get littered, you cough. Simple enough. Were you producing any sputum? Normally pneumonia produces a yellow or white frothy sputum, but not always. The problem is exascerbated if you smoke. I am glad you are feeling better BTW :)

well they told me it wasn't pneaumonia. I am not coughing ANYTHING UP.(maybe 3 times a day) When i was getting ready to go to the hospital and was in the shower and i got dizzy and passed out for a seconfd and woke up when i hit the floor. I then proceeded to throw up. The doctor said it was a really really bad flu or mono. I think he said the flu cause i told him i threw up twice. both times though i didn't just throw up for no reason. The first time was 3 in the morning when i got a lot of snot in my mouth and i gagged(i8 know its gross but i'm sick). Oh well he said to go back in a few days and if i am not feelnig any better and so far today i ahven't been. I also had a fever of 102.2 and thats why my mom took me in. I am bad for gonig outside with no coat on and even just a t shirt. I do this because at lunch we want to beat the rush to bk and wendys so i go to my friends locker and out my books in there and we take off. I guess thats the end of that.

yeah I am defonetly gonig to stop doing that now. I didn't figure it would matter much considering its a 30 yard walk. Guess i was wrong. I learnt my lesson for sure this time and plus its costing me money since i can't work for the next half a week:(

Oh well
