Not doing so well

[Papillon17]

Hi all thought it’s about time I posted, running not going so well here. No not the injury couch but not able to complete what was a standard distance for me. Times have become irrelevant as for some reason I am unable to do the distance. So after three years of doing probably at least one 5K a week struggling to get to 2K without walking. No I have not had Covid but breathing is extremely hard to the extent I have trouble getting upstairs without feeling some issues. I have contacted the Doctors and we are going down the check up route, x-rays and blood tests then further lung tests as it’s three years since the last round of check ups. Lost both parents to lung issues 26 years apart mum being the last in 2019. So has anyone got any advice? Hopefully everyone is still fit and active?

No advice from me Papillon, but it's very sensible to be seeking medical advice. Obviously something has caused a change. A worrying time, but remember that not everything is the worst case scenario. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your tests and results.

Sending positive thoughts ✨️

Thanks been through it previously only three years ago. Best to keep on top of it losing both mum and dad with lung issues.

I am sorry to hear this but well done on being super sensible and going to see the doctor. I imagine it’s causing quite a bit of stress too which isn’t fun. Wishing you really well 🌸😊.

O no. Sorry to hear about your health issues. It’s not pleasant struggling to breathe great that you managed to contact drs and that they were so proactive 🤞your investigations will ease your mind and not take too long. Best wishes

Thanks Scruff55 been down this road before staying positive hoping it’s just an unknown bug.

Oh I'm so sorry to be reading this Pap, I wish I had some advice but all I can give is my best wishes for you💞 It crossed my mind that maybe you have had covid without symptoms, because it sounds very like the same after effects that so many people are developing.

It's good to see your doctor's actions, they are doing all the right things for you. Hopefully you'll have some answers soon - and of course I and lots more people are here for you if you want a chat 💐

Thanks Katnap so do I.

[Solor Graduate]

Please try not to assume the worst Papillon17. Our fears can bring on horrible physical effects - this may not be anything sinister after all. I’m glad to hear you’re seeking tests. Good luck ☘️

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Solor]

Thanks Solar been in the position before so getting checked again.
