Being unwell before laparoscopy on Tuesday!

Hi all you beautiful lol! I cannot believe it iv become ill with what I think is a bug, symptoms are hot and cold heart pounding when too hot, aching body, slight burning of throat and chest cough which has phlegm at times. I feel better than I did yesterday but still too hot and achy with a cough when I breath in deeply. My laparoscopy is due on tuesday and I'm so worried they will cancel it! I have 3 more days to get better but I need this operation so much! Has this happened to any of you guys? What did you do? Thanks xxxx

Hi,

Have you checked your temperature?

What colour is the phlegm you're coughing up?

It sounds as though you have a chest infection, from the mention of brown phlegm, so you need to be seen by a doctor and have your chest listened to so they can decide whether you need an antibiotic.
