I woke up about 10 minutes ago because I was gasping to breathe. When I went to the bathroom my lips were tinged blue.
I've had "no voice" for a while. No pain, just no voice so I've been teaching on it.
Yesterday I felt exhausted and a little achy all day. I wrapped myself up on the sofa and dozed, I started developing symptoms of a cold so I used olbas and some lemsip then went to bed and slept.
I woke up a lot in the night. Usually because DH was talking to me in his sleep and I was sleeping unusually lightly. I was coughing and throat was getting sore. I was also wheezing. Not from my lungs, my air was wheezing in my throat.
So this morning. I'm woken up because I can't breathe (stuffy nose and tight throat.)
If I cough hard enough I can shift some green "gunk" from my throat which helps breathing a little for a minute of so but hurts like hell.
Tongue and back of mouth are so swollen I can't see them in the mirror.
I keep catching myself "gasping" for air if I relax and start dozing and I'm now sat up on my sofa.
I've taken paracetamol and 'Brufen for the pain and swelling.
It's Sunday. Do I stick this out until my doctor is open tomorrow or do I take it seriously? The gasping and blueness is worrying me. (DH's asleep!)
