Hi everyone,

I really need some help. I feel very ill right now and I'm having a lot of symptoms going on. I saw my GP on Tuesday and I was told I have severe Bronchitis and was prescribed Amoxicillin 500mg but my symptoms have gotten worse.

I am very wheezy and breathless, I have chest pressure across the whole from of my torso and all over my back from the top of my back to the bottom. I have a very phlegmy, chesty cough which leaves me breathless and I have the worst stinking headache ever. It feels like a migraine but I've had this headache for 4 and a half days now. I feel very dizzy and weak like I'm lacking in energy and my temp is 100.7. I feel like every raising up my arm is too much work because I'm literally that drained. I have been in bed but the majority of the last 2 days and I can't eat. I've barely eaten in 4 days, all I've had was a bowl of soup 2 days ago and a banana yesterday and I tried to eat a pasta earlier but I only eat two pieces of the pasta.

I'm taking cocodamol for my headache and I have one of these patches across my head which is supposed to lower my temp and help with migraines. I also keep having hot flushes where I'm soaking wet and then freezing cold. I hate feeling like this.

I've had Bronchitis several times before in my teens and Pnuemonia 3 times but I've never felt like this with Bronchitis. From what I can remember all I felt was tired and wheezy with phlegm. Nothing like this.

Does this sound like Pnuemonia? I nearly went to ER last night because I felt so awful but I thought I would give it another 24hours and see what happens. The only improvement I've had is that my sore throat has gone. I've also vomited 3 times in 2 days and some of the vomit contained phlegm as well as the usual vomit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dee. Thank you for your reply. I haven't got the Flu, lol. I would rather have the Flu than this because the Flu is a piece of cake compared to the way I feel right now. I hope your Cuz is better soon and I'm on meds for Bacterial Bronchitis. GP gave me Amoxicillin 500mg. This is my 3rd course of Antibiotics this month. I originally had Tonsilitis which went into Largynitis then I got over that and a week later had a very bad UTI and was given Antibiotics for this too. I had the Flu in November, haven't got it now hun. Whatever I have is affecting my breathing and all I can feel is loads of gunk and phlegm and hear cackling and wheezing and pain when I breathe in. And the cough is excruciating because of the stabbing pains I get in my lungs. Thanks again.
