Don't leave it Zaf, if you think its a chest infection maybe you should see your dr.

Take care

I'm sure it is a chest infection, I've got an appointment for 10.15 and someone should be coming in to see my mum sometime today as I think she has one too

I'll probably go to bed after I get home

Hope the appointment goes ok Zaf and that you and your mum get better soon xx

[Zaf]

Thanks IceLolly, its pouring with rain and the last thing I want to do is go outside, I just hope I'll not be fobbed off as I'm sure I need antibiotics

When I had a chest infection last summer I didn't get antibiotics until the second doctors appointment, then she gave me ones that were too strong and made me sick so I had to go back and get different ones

Hope it goes ok xx

[Zaf]

She gave me some straight away, said she barely needed to use the stethascope, my blood pressure was also hihg and I have to go back when I'm feeling better

Hope they start working for you soon Zaf and you feel better xx

[Sweetpea]

So glad you have some anti-biotics Zaf, hopefully they should kick in after a couple of days and you start to feel better.  Hope your mum gets the visit from the gp and they can help her too.

Thinking of you, hope you can get the rest you need this afternoon - providing the crisis at work gets sorted.

Take care

Thanks shaz, some locum GP came to see my mum and says its not on her chest so wouldnt prescribe any antibiotics but if she is still ill on Friday I'll phone them again

I've a nasty feeling I'll be cancelling my planned outings over the weekend unless there is some sort of miracle

Hopefully the antibiotics will work quickly. The blood preassure might be caused by you having to go to the GP when you know there was a crisis.

[Zaf]

It could be Buttercup, she said she wasnt particularly worried but it might be a good idea to go back and get it checked when I feel better (and dont have a crisis) so I'll go back in a few weeks when I'm having a calmer week

[Sweetpea]

I hope things work out so you can go ahead with your plans for the weekend.

My blood pressure is always up when I go to my gp.  So I have a monitor at home and do it when I am calm and take the readings with me.  Dr suggested this and it works for me.

Hope you mum soon feels better and the locum is right and its not an infection.
