Chest Xray

17 Replies

Well have rank virus ... truly is awful felt like my Airway was jamming up with gunk BUT strange thing is my cats been unwell with it too.

Was bad as was already on antibiotics SO was surprised to catch it.

Guess am lucky its not on my chest BUT did effect my eating breathing as nose was gridlocked up.

My doctor sent me for xray after i told him i had been coughing up tad blood after coughing fits.

Told him am not worried as was nothing and would thought throat was raw and cause.

Anyway he sent me for xray AND i was sat there looking at my xray that was displayed on both monitor nurse sits.

And what a miserable nurse she was AFTER i give my X-ray good eyeballing i asked nurse is THAT my X-ray.

She turned monitor off AND said no its not developed yet.

I don't know why the so full of it LIKE we don't know about procedures quality control.

Anyway ONE part of left / right lung upper looked tad rank

But issue is DOSE anyone know what this doctors writing say's in picture

I only know coz I had it recently. Took two rounds of antibiotics to clear it. They should also check your d-dimer levels via bloods to make sure it's not a pulmonary embolism

Hi cheers don't think its blood clot breathing been ok and took few xray views.

Have never heard of that D-Dimer stuff but on subject of blood clots was worried when leg swollen up but nurse said was just edema from leaky stuff.

Cheers thanks for reply HEADs UP n if things change defo be at AE

They took X-rays of me too and saw nothing but he said they check d-dimer levels anyway in case it's a series of small clots.

Jesus the nurse should have ran the bloods straight away. From what I know the levels show if there are clots in the body somewhere.

Good luck- hopefully you won't need hospital. A week of Klacid cleared it up for me

Hi cheers am glad they did xray other doctors was reluctant.

But since i suffered back stenosis and passing out i wanted xray as things had changed.

But its like talking to wall sometimes.

Things seem to be moving in right direction now tho.
