This morning after my son went too school, I had a terrible coughing fit, it was so bad I almost passed out, I felt something snap in my head and my mucus was full of blood, I started shaking and sweating, I thought my son would return home from school and find me dead, what an awful thought. I called the paramedics and they came, they were wonderful, they took a print out of my heart, oxagen, they even took blood, my pressure was up and my oxagen was down, they said the severe coughing caused my dizziness, my blood surgar was just a little low. My husband is going to be furious, I know all the neighbors saw the paramedics, and I do not care, was I wrong to call them? Has anyone ever had broncitis and had blood in thier mucus?? The antibotic seems to make me a little short of breath after I take it, I do not know if its just the broncitis or nerves that is causing it, usually amoxicillian works good with no bad effects, the paramadic asked if I was scared to be alone since I was so sick, I guess he saw that. I feel like I am breaking down physically, first that horrible kidney thing and just as I am getting over it I get bacterial broncitis, I wonder if the Paxil is causing this, it seems like all this happened when I started the Paxil again, or is it just coicidence? I feel like my body is breaking down, sickness after sickness, they I wonder "whats next" I just want to get my health back and take care of my son, I hope I can, I feel like my body is dying half the time, it cannot all be anxiety, I have quit cold-turkey smoking, it probably caused the broncitis, since my nerves have been so bad I have smoked more, never again, can illness after illness hurt the body?? My immune system must be very bad. Any replies would help and prayers, I am alone and shaking so bad and can hardly breathe, I did not want to call the paramedics back. Thank you, Debbie.
