Hi all,

I saw my doc on Tuesday 11th Oct not good news I have a chest infection on antibiotics now & prednisone again as well as 2 puffs of symbicort 3xdaily. I'm not sleeping too good of a night.

I haven't had a cold or anything don't know how I got this chest infection, hope I dont get it again.

Regards

*HUGS* Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest...and you will make it through this. I had a pretty nasty cough a while back, but since I was out of town I couldn't make it to my doc...by the time I could get to see him, it celared up. But, with winter coming, I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up with a sinus infection, or a chest infection - or both sometime in the next few months. :P

Hi Midget,

Nice to meet you.

I've been drinking plenty of water & resting I'm a lot better today.

Take care.

Were you sick is that why you went to the doc? Does anyone ever have back pain or rib pain when their asthma is acting up?

Hi Johna,

How are you?

No I wasn't sick I was waking up a lot with chest tightness, I noticed once I was spitting up green mucous then again a few weeks later didn't worry me, my PF was dropping & using my reliever just about everyday.

I've noticed having chest infection my ribs & chest is a bit sore when I cough.

My never suffer with back pain or rib pain when my asthma is acting up though.

P.S. Does anyone know when your doctor taps u on your lower back & then listens what does that mean? As my doc did that.

Regards

Oh yeah...last really bad cough I had, my ribs/back hurt.
