[candyfluff]

went to gp today after a week of feeling under the weather,i have got a slight cough ,gravelly sore throat ,really bad pain around my chest neck and shoulder blades,lots of swallowing of phlem too .
feeling totally wasshed out.
anyone else had a bug like this ,bit concerned its something else

Using my considerable psychic powers I can definitely diagnose you with...

Nothing.
Why don't you want to believe the GP?

I had similar a few weeks ago and spent 2 days in bed. Cough lingered for at least 3 weeks.

the pain in my chest and back is a burning sort of pain -if that makes sense,when i lie down feels like im gonna choke

Are you concerned it might be flu? It would be too late for you to take antivirals anyway. Whatever it is, its making you poorly and you don't need a label on it to look after yourself properly. Lots of fluids rest and don't share it with people.

If you start to feel worse, get an increasing temp etc then go back to gp as you might have a secondary infection.

Hope you feel better soon.

thats really helpful lljkk

this is the same gp who told me my dd had diabetes when in fact she had pneumonia
so forgive me if i think she's a bit
