Hi all!
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I started feeling almost flu-ish a few months back (November), runny nose, very sore throat, white tonsils, etc. I managed to get over it in about a week or so. A month later, I developed another cold where I completely lost my voice, white tonsils again and I felt pretty sluggish (not much energy, etc). I went to the doctor hoping she'd give me some antibiotics but by the time I was able to see the doctor, most of my symptoms had dissipated so she sent me on my way with no antibiotics. Ever since then though, I have had plugged up sinus' (gross I know) and again, the white tonsils. The weird thing is only one of my tonsils is white - just a piece of it and it's always in the same section every time. I also developed some weird respiratory thing over Christmas.. there were a few days where I was not to the point of really having problems breathing but my airway was really restricted, it was especially worse at night and I had to lie on my side in order to breathe properly. I even caught myself wheezing a few times just breathing in and out (sitting on the couch, etc... not doing anything strenuous). This past week I developed another cold (again - white tonsil), stuffed up sinus' and burning sinus pain and sore/raw throat. Then Saturday/Sunday I developed the same respiratory feeling with the tightness but not as bad as it was over the Christmas break. I'm not able to cough or anything - that's almost the feeling I've got in my airway - like something needs to come out but there's nothing there. I tried to explain that to my husband earlier and he didn't seem too concerned about that and said he'd hear if I was really having problems with breathing/wheezing.
Any suggestions or ideas? Maybe you've gone through something similar? I usually don't get this sick - three times in three months! That's a new record for me. I have been under a lot of stress lately though - I started a new job in August, husband was laid off, he had H1N1 and got in a car accident all in a month, oh and we had to put our four month old kitty down a few weeks prior to those other things happening. Just wondering if it's maybe stress related?
