So... with the chest pains and breathing issues, I think I finally figured out what's wrong: pneumonia. There's a likely chance that I got fluid in my lungs during my surgery and now months waiting to see if these pains and breathings will go away, it has now became an infection... so in other words, pneumonia. I have the nausea, bowel issues, the fever, the weakness, the shaking (at times), breathing and swallowing issues, fast heart rate, and chest pains, especially when I breath in. I was suppose to go to the hospital yesterday, but since Justin's final for school was yesterday, we had to wait until he was done... then his mom took the car to go to work herself. I had to wait until today to go, so now I'm waiting for him to wake up... take a shower and then we can leave.
Well.. since I never got to finish this post when I originally started it... I'm just going to continue on from here. I'm now back from the hospital (I went there around 1pm and left at 3:30pm on Thursday) and they found nothing wrong. We did blood work and a CT scan and with those it showed I had no blood clot and no pneumonia, which I figured I had. The only thing that did show up was that I had a very small area in the upper part of my left lung, but they said it shouldn't be what's causing my issues. So what is? I have to follow up with my family care doctor in four days (actually in five since in four days would be Christmas) and I have no clue what else we are going to do. I'm at a lost. I love how the paper they gave me when I was leaving said to get immediate care if I'm having shortness of breath and I'm already dealing with it. I also wasn't too happy when they gave me the paper and let me go... I wasn't able to read it before I got released and the doctor didn't let me know this information either, for the next few days I'm suppose to avoid doing any physical activities that causes my chest pain to get worse. I work at Sam's Club as a cashier! Everything I do will cause it to be worse... I needed a real doctor's note to give to work to excuse me from being absent.
I already called off four days this month.... to note, I only can work two days a week right now, so I have been scheduled five days so far not counting this Saturday. I can't miss anymore days, but if I go to work I'm afraid I will collapse at work from the chest pain and not being able to breath. So I don't what to do and I feel like crying. I went to bed around 9:30-ish and woke up at 4am with feeling hungry and having horrible chest pains, but since I was hungry I had to eat something so decided on some chips. With opening up the bag, it brought tears to my eyes from the pain and then eating somehow made it worse and also made my stomach sick. I haven't been able to eat much this week because I keep getting sick to my stomach and then my chest starts hurting too.
I want my life back!
