Not feeling well

I've not been feeling to good for the last few days but I have let myself get under alot of stress so I don't know if that can make me have a cough and phelgm (spell) coming up. I do have asthma and sarcoid but not having trouble breathing, just feels like its in my thoart. It could be my sinus draining and I had this same problem a couple months ago had a cat scan done on my sinus and all was fine. I'm taking my nasal spray and other meds I take for it. I know it could be weather related because its been really hot and humid here but the next few days is suppose to be cooler. I'm just freaking out because I've got less than two weeks to surgery and I don't want to be sick and it get postponed ya know. Guess I just wanted to vent, thanks for listening. Please pray I'm not sick for surgery.

Thanks,
Cindy

Rest up Cindy so you can get healthy for that surgery date!!!  You should be OK in two weeks, but give yourself the rest you need.  :)

Thanks Deb, that's what I'm going to do today is stay in bed as much as I can and just rest! I really don't want to call the doctor because I feel like they aren't going to do anything for me anyway and its not in my lungs.

Cindy,

FIrst of all, it's nice to meet you. I'm one of the oldtimer/regulars on this forum, but have been MIA for a few weeks. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.

I would suggest a call to your PCP and your surgeon. Have the PCP check you out and see if you have an infection that can/needs to be addressed. Call your surgeon's office and let them know what's up and see if they have any suggestions. As you know, it wouldn't be safe and your surgeon's office won't proceed if you are ill when it's time for surgery, so let them know that you have an issue now so that they can help you get it resolved so that you'll be healthy and ready to go in a couple of weeks.

Wishing you all the best,

Barb

Barb, nice meeting you too. Thanks for replying to my post. This isn't anything new I've been dealing with the coughing up stuff for a couple of months off and on and my lung doctor says its from my sinues and  I had a cat scan in August and everything looked fine. I'm feeling better today and just going to try and rest. I'm doing what I was told to do for the sinuses like nasal spray and taking allegra d. I also think it is a food allergy to milk, because I do the same thing if I drink milk or eat ice cream and I've been drinking mocha shakes from this coffee shop but haven't had one since Sunday. I'm suppose to be on no more than 50 carbs a day now until surgery so I'm not having anymore shakes or anything like that. I'll call the doctor in the next day or so if its still bothering me. Thanks for the advice.

Cindy,
I'm so sorry you've not been feeling well.  I understand your "freaking out" with just 2 weeks to go.  I was a nervous wrec****il the day of my surgery when I was finally able to settle down enough to relax before my wls.  I will keep praying for you.  You will be fine.  I know you have a lot to do and think about right now.  Just try to relax and take care of yourself the best you can.  Looking forward to seeing you on the bench!

Thanks so much Donna!

Hey Cindy,

I started to clog up and feel poopy a couple of weeks before surgery.  I call my PCP and told her I could not afford to be sick.  She gave me antibiotics just in case there was a sinus infection coming on.  I did fine! 

Cindy,  Stress can suppress our immune system, making it easier for us to come down with something.  Our daughter was sick over the weekend, but it only took a few days to recover (sore throat, achey, etc.).  I would also suggest getting on an antibiotic right away as a precaution.  Hopefully you will feel better soon and it won't have any affect on your surgical date! 

Thanks Shauna for the advice. Actually I just made a doctor appt for in the morning because they wouldn't call me in anything over the phone and I really think its just a sinus infection.
Also just talked with the nurse at Dr. Miles office and I'm having a IVC filter put in at 8am on Monday and my pre opt with him on Tuesday and then all the other test that I have to do before the surgery on the 29th so really want to feel better.
