I've been hospitalised yet again for the same reason )( oxygen levels went down to 40ish
This time I also had a pounding of my heart which I could hear which didn't happen the last time I was in.
The only thing I can think it to be is after I was given Naproxen from the doctor I saw with another tablet.( One used for indigestion. ( The Naproxen was to be taken one 2 times a day.
Given that when I took the evening one then at 3am late Friday night early Saturday morning it was the same day I went to the docs that same da.
So don't know when I ll be out
Much love.

Cheers when they do I'm going to impress again & if they persist saying it's the assessment unit only I'm going to request for the same reason I have a room on my own If the respiratory ward refuse outright & put me in the main Respiratory ward like last time then I ll have to go along with it & say when I was in that setting 1 0 days ago I didn't feel comfortable
Sorry to hear you’re so poorly and hope they manage to get you well enough to go home soon. . I was in for three weeks in March with a chest infection and severe asthma flare up. I was in the Respiratory Ward and they were completely full, with single rooms being used for patients who had Covid or had therapy which is aerosol generating (such as CPAP). So you may find that they cannot put you in a single room, depending on other patients they are treating. I too spent the first 3 days in the assessment unit before they found me a bed in Respiratory but once I was there they were brilliant and seem to have found a treatment regime to improve my asthma and hopefully reduce the number of chest infections I get. Fingers crossed they can get you back on your feet soon and feeling much better. Xx
That’s super low oxygen. Scary. I’m told to go to the SR every time my oxygen is below 88. But I don’t because I’d be there daily. But I read at 67 oxygen you become cyanotic
Hope you soon get sorted and back home again. Naproxen caused severe bruising in me and mouth ulcers that wouldn't heal. When I realised, I stopped taking it straight away and went back to my GP who prescribed the more receptor-specific NSAID, Etodolac.
