update on the lungs

[burntcopper]

Went doctors, explained symptoms, had tests, my lung capacity is still fabulous, but I now have antibiotics with a 'come back if it doesn't clear up', one inhaler if I get the breath problems again (cue me quizzing the person who has one and going 'er... how does this work?') and a letter for a chest x-ray tomorrow to check for anything weird. Yes, I am vaguely weirded out by the chest x-ray thing.

Office still boiling and making eyeballs itch and too dry and throat hurts. Yay fun.

The inhaler is likely a bronchodilator- expands your airway, so that you won't have more trouble breathing. Chest x-rays are mostly to check for consolidations (ie pneumonia). Did they listen to your lungs?
