Went to the hospital last night, as my breathing was heavy and i’ve been sick.. felt more respiratory than flu like break down of it
1st day slight dry cough and a headache
2nd cold systems, body aches, pooping a lot, stomache in awful pain, fatigue, loss of appetite
3. cough is getting worse, breathing starts to feel more constricted, lots of pain in my lungs & back area
4. cough even worse, but lots of tightness in my chest, feels like my lungs are so inflamed and pressing against my rib cage, feels like someone has a group around my throat, out of breathe after talking to someone on the phones, cold chills
so i go to the local hospital worried because i have asthma, before i even can get in, a nurse in full PPE asks my symptoms, gives me a mask and tells me to go to their old emergency room which i guess they’re now using during this pandemic.
just myself and an old lady (who ended up being brought away somewhere with a breathing machine) were there
they asked me my symptoms, if i travelled etc, took my temp, did a chest x ray, flu test etc
dr said my chest looked fine, flu came back negative. but because i have asthma and was a smoker he’s a lil worried. was really nice, said i definitely have a viral infection, could be covid-19 but for now i don’t have a temp and my chest x-ray doesn’t look like it. tells me to stay isolated, gives me an antibiotic, inhaler, sends me on my way
