I'm really not sure what to do as I know gp appointments are very valuable and I don't want to waste their time but I'm thinking I need to go again. Please bear with me as there's 2 issues and I'm not sure if they're related.
3 weeks ago I had a miscarriage which was very bad, I was loosing a lot of blood and passing out so I needed an ambulance and was taken to A&E. There was a lot of discussion about how much blood I might have lost but as a lot was in the toilet they felt they couldn't accurately judge it. I was in over night and after they stopped the bleeding and gave me fluids I was sent home with some iron tablets.
The next day I came down with a virus my kids have, seems to be going around at the moment, fever and chills, bad cough, congestion etc.
This hit me very hard which isn't surprising. After having it nearly 2 weeks I got a very painful ear for which I was prescribed antibiotics as doctor thought it could be infected.
Anyway now it's a week later and almost 3 weeks since I first felt ill, my ear is still blocked and painful as well as the whole area around it. I also cannot do anything without feeling exhausted, just going to the toilet leaves me breathless and feeling faint. That's not right is it?
I'm so worried the doctor will just say it's the virus and it will take time to recover but I've never felt so bad and surely by now I should be able to walk for 5 minutes without having to sit down?
I used to walk 3-4 miles a couple of times a week so this is quite debilitating for me.
Do I ring the doctors again in the morning or accept that I've just been ill and it will take time to get better?
