Acute bronchitis.

Further to my last post on blood oxygen level.I said I had copd, with emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma.

There was confusion about I had chronic bronchitis but have never had mucus that is associated with it.

In fact I have acute bronchitis, so that's probably the reason I didn't have mucus.

I only noticed this just now looking for documents on my lung function tests I had done 10 years to take with me on my appointment I have today for a lung function test.

I suppose I should feel good about this, but am to miserable in pain and stress not being able breath to well, I don't want to take any medication before the test.

I also feel that a lot of the breathing problems I have is probably due to Gred as if affected my voice badly.

Anyway now for a long drive and face the worst car park in the world..🤦‍♂️🤞

I think you're right, but I decided not to take anything, I will get medications from here a bit later on.

'Chronic' Bronchitis is part of copd, 'Acute' Bronchitis is an infection (ready to stand corrected if I'm wrong especiallyas they may have different terms in Thailand). I think the Acute Bronchitis has turned into pneumonia. The mucus may not be unable to come up due to inflammation of your airways? Thank goodness you're at the clinic/hospital by now.

Unfortunately I've been like this for some time, I saw a lung specialist at a private hospital near me two weeks ago who said my chest was clear even though I was in pain and difficulty in breathing. 4 days I decided to this government hospital as they are the only ones who have the equipment for a proper full lung function test. I will see what happens after tomorrow, if am not happy I will go to a private hospital in Bangkok that I've used before, just means booking into a hotel for days but I know I will get the best treatment very quickly.

Am really okay for now resting on my bed, not easy walking for now.

I will phone for an ambulance if I worsen.

Ah, slightly further away lol. I reckon the JR would give any hospital a run for its money for that title… 😆

I think it was me who questioned the CB diagnosis. As I said CB is normally dealing with significant amounts of mucus every day. At least that’s one less thing to worry about, although breathlessness is not much fun either

Not what you're looking for?
