Between my coughed up lung scabs and mucus sputum balls i have been feeling dizzy and nearly fell down the stairs i.e going to pass out.
Anyway seen doc and told her about how i have been feeling explained things about why i am there today and she pulled up my lung docs records
I told her i am not happy as my lung doc as said and is trying to say i have always
Had lung problems to explain my condition
Anyway i told my doc about stuff i have been coughing up and how in my opinan it is that
That is causing all my infection .. and to be fair she was interested and give me good going over.
After her exam she told me i have crackling on my left lung but my lungs sound clear my blood pressure was up and down all of which am not to happy about
So she as booked me in for a xray on monday and sputum sample strait after my 7% hypertonic saline treatment.
As you can see i have not had a good time of it as of late .. I don't know what is going on but is worrying development but a just have not to dwell on things
So sorry this is happening Daz, you are having such a difficult time, I do hope this new doctor will help get to the bottom of the problem and get you the treatment that will help calm things down.
I think the stress and worry of not knowing what is going on will affect your blood pressure but hopefully that will settle down once you start being looked after properly, I think this new doctor sounds like she will be of great help to you.
Take good care, rest well and puts some good food inside your bod.
Keeping fingers crossed for you.
Best wishes BC

Hi cheers BlakeyC yep i have to try stay positive.
I would be lying if a said a was not worried ..
But at least i have interested doc now ... and thats tad more than i had few months ago
Sorry you're not feeling too good. you are right this doc seems to have more about her.
Blakey is also right about stress and blood pressure. I don't want to sound patronising, but have you thought about relaxation tapes. there is no way your condition will improve, but it may help your blood pressure and help you relax a bit. Good luck
Hi Mustcarryon yep do try to relax .. But somedays just feel like runing round screeming .
Its not like a could even do that ... But ye have to stay calm and not let it all get to me
Cheers thanks for comment all the best
You have had some good advice, Daz. You have so many problems, that now I hope that things will get easier. Love Anniseedx

Daz, I do get strange crackling noises in my chest and throat which generally mean the onset of an infection. But not the same as yourself, Daz. People are so supportive here. xx
Looks like you were in the right place at the right time with your new doctor. I know it has been a battle with yourself but PMA. I saw you said that you feel like running around screaming. I heard on the radio some time back that to go into small room and vent your spline with a good scream can help, it does me. One word of advice If you had a bad day and go into that little room and let it all out check that your partner has not got mums from the school there! I got some very strange looks from them when I walked into the room they were in
Hi toci cheers not feeling to bad now i was worried as been coughing my lung scabs up felt ill and there was blood spoting in my mucus sputum was coughing up
But not coughed any up today and feeling better now be glad when had xray
Hi Daz
Hope all gets sorted out for you and that you will be feeling better very soon. Good to be having those examinations . x
It is good that you now have a doctor who is taking your health seriously at last so things are sounding more positive. I am sure she will see what the crackling is all about and you can get some good help with that. I do feel for you and wish you all the very best.
Glad you are part of this site as people on here are amazing and that means you too Daz. Take care. Love, Carole xxxx
i know its not the right thing for sopmeone that is worried we all been there hun but a lot of stress and worry can affect your breathing so much treat yoursdelf to a relaxation tape be on your own when listning better still do it from head phones i can more or lless guasrentee you will feel so much better hope this helps
New Doc seems to be chasing up things which is good ,getting the help you need, Sometimes a scream does you good but like offcut make sure your on your own, have a good rant, then deep breath, smile and carry on , all the best Daz, X
Hi Daz I see where your coming from a good DR is worth its weight in gold. Is your lung problem caused by asbestos I have COPD and when I get so out of breath I go light headed. I hope you get sorted good luck
Did you work in asbestos I know people who worked in the mines got COPD and an old uncle of mine was in the fire service his lungs were shot. Have you looked in to claiming compensation for this I know you have to link it to work but I can't see how you had this from being young but you do need your GP on your side. I think the problem is a GP wont put anything in writing today.
Hi yes i have IIDB claim pending as my lung doc for specs on my diease if he could not do letter of surport .. I recived letter full of BS and nothing on clinacal names parts of my lung affected .. A worked in a school and IIBD are mot contesting the asbestos side of things its my illness thay are refuseing is related to asbestosis
If you click on my name you will see all my post questions
Cheers thanks for intrest and comments

Hi daz please don't take this the wrong way I'm just trying to save you a lot of stress and worry but asbestos fibres are microscopic and you will not see them with your naked eyes,another thing too is that they lodge in your lungs because they are barbed and they never come back out this is when your body tries to attack them by surrounding them with scar tissue,at this point the body realises that the irritant is still there and the scar growth continues.As I said before mate I'm just trying to ease your nerves because as others have said too,stress is something we all really need to avoid at all costs.

Hi wiskas yep you are quite right about asbestos fibers but i have been using a microscope as i have been coughing up lung scar tissue .. If you look at my profile you will see debris matrial on my previous post 's questions
in reply to
Sorry Daz my mistake as hadn't read all you have on this and therefore didn't realise you had the use of a microscope mate.
My lungs constantly crackle, have done so for years. I have bronchiectasis and every time I have an infection and see the GP they will examine me and say they can hear crackling, through their stethescope! I can hear it without one so it must sound like an experess train through the 'scope. Take care
Hi happyfeet59 yes try to stay positive but a worried as a cant keep coughing up what looks like lung tissue
Think i will feel better after xray
Hope you are feeling a little better today Daz, thinking of you.
Best wishes BC

Hi BC not feeling to bad lugs are tad raw but think antibiotics are going to be part of life now
in reply to
Keep on resting Daz and keep warm, do hope things improve soon. Do you have a course of steroids too? If the crackling is a lung infection you need something extra. Take good care, and best wishes BC x

Moday all know after doc as sample of everthing been coughing up
So sorry to hear what a horrible time you are having one consolation this doctor is listening. Try not to worry. Good luck with X-rays. Take good care TAD xx

Hi Tadaw cheers
Hi stich yep was worried given tissue debris been coughing up its worse as know one will tell me what it is
Hi cheers is a pain all be glad when had xray for reassurance everthing is un changed thought i had cooked my beans for sure
Hi stich i find that very un-usual a dont think that is even legal ... That would be classed as terms and conditions and by al accounts a sliperly road did thay give you information on what asbestos is and affects on ya health .. If no thay migh be in trouble
