Hello group

I just joined, so hello.
I dont have coughs, or phlem, ( or good spelling)
I had an episode about 3 weeks ago going on vacation. My throat started closing, then i couldent talk, we stoped and got some mints to suck on. ( i forgot my inhaler) as the night went on it felt like my lungs colapste. My ribs hurt. Well 3 weeks
Later they still hurt even to the touch, and still a harsh voice, my legs and feet hurt to the touch even for my sheets to touch them. How long does these episodes take to pass?
AND KNOW I DID NOT GO TO DR YET

  1. Goodness, I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you. While I am not a doctor, I would urge you to seek medical attention. There could be something underlying. Warmest wishes for your healing. Susan

    1. thank you for your reply, i just dont like it when i do run to the hospital or Dr and be told im waisting their resources. ( time)
      I will reach out to the local walk in clinic.

  2. Hi , and welcome! I see you are a new member here, having joined just yesterday, late in the afternoon. We are glad to see you already engaging with the community through this, your first post.
    I see our fellow community member, , already responded and I tend to agree with what she has said.
    I also have something to contribute. What you have so candidly shared with the community, appears to be a serious episode of some kind. This is especially so since you have not felt any relief, there are a good number of symptoms and, this has lasted for 3 weeks, based on what you've told us here.
    Perhaps it is time to reach out for you doctor.
    What do you think?

    1. I'm sorry you have been made to feel this way. Healthcare unfortunately, is not what it use to be, but then again what is. I hope you do reach out to someone to see what's going on. You are in my thoughts. Susan
