I’ve had breathing difficulties in the evenings / at night for a while now, about a month maybe – wheezing, chest tightness, etc. (Doctor recently prescribed me antihistamines, which I subsequently realised I can’t actually take because I’m still breastfeeding my ds2.)
For about 5 months, I’ve had this horizontal ridge on one of my big toenails, which I’ve tonight discovered is called a Beau’s Line. Apparently (and this is all from Dr. Google, so y’know…) it can indicate a lot of serious things, including heart attacks etc. Had assumed for the last 5 months that it was just some weird toenail illness, but then decided to look it up tonight after discovering that another one was developing on one of my other toenails.
So now I’m sitting here wheezing (like every night) and worrying a bit. DH wants me to go to A&E tomorrow. I’d feel like a massive idiot going in because of a weird looking toenail (bear in mind my wheezing will be gone by the morning), and am more in favour of waiting to make a GP appointment on Monday.
But then I also don’t want to have a heart attack and die…!
