Gotta go to Radiology tomorrow due to ""Haemoptysis

4 Replies

Had a mild cold, just getting rid of it, but last night was up 3/4 times and each time coughed up loads blood in my sputum, could actually taste it, yuk!

Not looking forward to it. This is the follow on from my coughing Q post. Hopefully it's nothing.

Merry Chrimbo :)

Was in and out of radiology in a flash this morning, very surprised. Not overly happy about the 10 day wait over Christmas for the results tho, ho hum.

Meady, sorry to hear you've not been well. Standard chest x-rays should be reported within a week and (certainly around here, anyway) are usually done before that. Have a chat with your GP.

Hi Cathbear, thanks for the reply. Will be ringing my GP tomorrow, just finishing my antibiotics and pred and it's come back with avengeance. Very sticky cough, feels like someone has got a tiny hair at the very bottom of my lungs and just doesn't stop tickling.

Changing subject slightly, didn't realise that it had been just over a year since posting recently. Must have been the last time i had trouble..... Sorry for deserting you guys.

Found out the results of the scan before Christmas, not in the best of ways via the A & E doctor on Tusday 23rd. x-ray was clear.

Got rushed to hospital with a nasty chest infection ( I thought it was just my asthma giving trouble with hat I thought was a sill cold).

Ended up spending christmas eve in mau, very lucky/glad I was let out christmas eve.
