brit 14 Posted December 21, 2014 I know I've posted a lot today, but I've been it under so much stress. So I have an electronic baby to take care of, I'm sick and recently my dog fell on the floor crying bd couldn't get up and I just for back from the vet (by the way he's okay) on the way back I started getting bad anxiety and then I started feeling trapped in my car and I needed to get out, so when I got home I ran out of the car. It was feeling so hard to breathe and I've been coughing up clear mucus all day, and it ties out tomorrow I'm going to the doctors to get checked for pneumonia but when I got inside I was hyperventilating and I was coughing a lot and I went to the sink and there was what looked like brown/red spots in my mucus, but it was barely at all. I think I might have made myself cough so hard that it bled. But at that point I didn't have any self control and I had a full blown panic attack and I was on the floor crying and my parents were yelling at me to knock it off, so that made me feel worse. I know they didn't mean to get mad at me but they had a stressful day too, but it made me feel so stupid. I can't get over thinking that I have pneumonia and I can't stop coughing.

Misterg 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Hi Brit I'm no doctor but know that pneumonia would cause more pronounced symptoms like chest pain difficulty breathing and high fever etc. but if it will make you feel better I suggest you get the doctor to look u over. I feel for you that you don't have the support that u need at home. It's important to have loved ones understand that what you are feeling is real to u even if it is only imagined. They should be educated on how to help u cope and how their support can help u get past this problem rather than living with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gettingthere 2 Posted December 29, 2014 I hope you are okay , i agree with Misterg that symptoms are much worse than you described. There has been a really harsh cold virus this year and the coughing sounds like you have had this virus, not that i am a doctor or anything just from experience as i had this virus and cough was horrendous just as you described. Sorry to hear you had a panic attack wish i could have been there to help you through it as you needed comfort and support to help you . xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
