Verdict is in

[hils]

Back from the doctor's and I am fine. Well, mostly fine. Tonsils and throat are a bit swollen apparently and the coughing is being caused by my sinuses. Been advised to gargle salt water and inhale steam.

My heart and lungs are fine though which is what I was worried about, and the palpitations I had last night were likely caused by a mixture of adrenaline and anxiety.

So that's pretty much good news. The doctor I saw isn't my usual one and she was lovely. Wonder if I can swap. Hehe!

I had palpitations a while back too. That turned out to be nothing too.

It scared the crap out of me. I thought I was going to have a heart attack

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Me too. Felt like a twat at the doctor's though. Not helped that I was seen by the trainee and his supervisor.

Luckily the doctor I saw was really nice. Didn't make me feel stupid at all

Ah, yes, the joy of dripping sinuses making you cough. I know it well. I'm glad it's nothing more serious and the chest tightness was just the anxiety. Hope you'll be fighting fit for next weekend!

Yup, I'm sure I will be! Off next week so I can get plenty of rest

That is good news. If it is a sinus issue my asthma/allergy doctor recommended a nasal rinse. They aren't pleasant while you are doing them, but I have found they really help.

Nasal rinse? What does that involve? Sounds icky. LOL!

I'm glad too! Hee! *hugs back*

Yay! Glad that you're okay, and like, your heart's not going to explode out of your chest.

Ugh. I just gave myself the mental image of that chestburster. :/

[hils.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! Yes, that would have been bad. And messy.

Oh that's good news :) Palpitations are awful

A bit of Vicks in boiling water is better at clearing sinuses than just plain steam

Excellent! I shall pop to the shops later. Thanks!
