Is there a doctor in the house?

[ShinRa]

For the past week I've been waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and the chills. I have a deep cough that won't go away, and I get aches and feel weak and lightheaded halfway through the day. Is this just a common fever? I haven't taken anything besides Advil and that's not doing anything for me. Any suggestions?

 

[Eejit]

You need bled. Liberally apply leeches to the armpits three times a day.

 

[Dog--]

Any nausea? If so, it's the flu.

Either way, see a REAL doctor.

 

[Eejit]

Could be lupus.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Robitussin.

 

[ShinRa]

No nausea. I just feel these symptoms have lasted all too long. I haven't taken any real medication but after 7 days I think enough is enough.

lol at robitussin.

You have mono, and you should start to feel a little better - right before you die.

 

[Dinkleberry]

And while you're waiting for your doctors appt. check your house/bed for mould.

(P.S. it's not my intention to imply you have a dirty house )

Mommy... You know how you say bless you when someone sneezes... What do you say when someone coughs?

Robitussin.

How about in your local goddamn hospital!

If you are breaking a sweat, that is you getting better BTW. So I'd get plenty of rest and fluids and hang in there another day and see what happens.

You are fighting whatever it is. But yeah, when you get older at least, don't hesitate to see a doctor.

Some of these Viruses can be fatal. I hope I get a chance to say that again someday.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I don't wish to worry you, but your symptoms fit perfectly with community pneumonia. It's not a biggie though but you would need anti-biotics (on a drip perhaps). It sounds very similar to something my father got 2 years ago, in both lungs...pretty unfortunate. Does the coughing bring anything up at all?

I'd go to your local GP so he can listen to your lungs, he'll know instantly. It can be a problem if left for a long time.

 

[ShinRa]

Coughing brings up phlem and thick mucus. I realize the sweat is my body fighting it but EVERY night for almost a week??

 

[staticprimer]

If you've been sweating for a week, you need to see a doctor.

 

[AKIRA]

what you have is VirusType 2


.....LAWL

 

[Saturos]

Go see a real doctor ASAP MR. Cactaur before I pluck all 1,000 needles from your little body!

Besides, if you want online help, then WebMD would probably be a better place to search. Not these bunch of miscreants.

 

[JFry]

Don't let these folks steer ya wrong with this go see a doctor business. Tough it out, your pride is on the line.

 

[Malfunction]

Robitussin.

Sorry, but you ruined that. The correct terminology is "'Tussin!" :dork:

 

[kineaesth]

Not in New Zealand.

Oh god yes. Very very yes.

But also, no.

 

[Raziaar]

Story of my life like 12 times this year.

It doesn't sound serious to me. But if you do get concerned, you can see a doctor. The thing to be most concerned about is if you start breathing in and out and you hear a gurgling sound from your lungs. That you might have a case of walking pneumonia or worse when it gets like that.

 

[CptStern]

maybe you're pregnant, have you missed your period?

 

[Rico]

You are turning into a zombie.

Let me go ahead and give you a script for some medicine:

*scribbles bullet to head in doctor chicken scratch on a napkin*

There we go, that should do it.

 

[CptStern]

maybe you have Bonus Eruptus, which is a terrible disorder in which your skeleton tries to leap out of your mouth to escape your body

 

[McGooTheWise]

I lold at bonus eruptus.

I had something similar, except I felt like I was going to die every night. It was horrible, but I only had it for 2 nights. Are your lips puffy? Is your face pale? You have some virus, that's for sure. Might want to go to the doctor, since you've had it so long.

Maybe its just that time of the month?

Nah, just a regular old case of the kajjigers. Nothing a good paddlin' won't solve.

 

[Lizardizzle]

just go see a doctor. now. all hl2.net is good for is being sarcastic and funny. And the only REAL help we give is for games.

just don't die on us, now. ;(

My nights have been pretty restless of late, I have on and off anxiety, used to get it really bad, like panic attacks etc but worn off, but have the odd periods where I cant sleep and a bit short of breath, feeling just generally very weird.

But yeh sounds like a common virus to me, go see your doctor or it probably will only get worst, as you will likely need perscribed anti-biotics to get rid of it.

Ah, but we're helplife2.net, are we not? We should be able to provide some sort of help!!
@Shift: It's probably just the heat, since we Britons are not used to the very warm and stuffy nights! It's been especially warm in Bury, hasn't it?!!!

Yeh that would be a contributing factor as it had been fecking hot in Bury the past week, but Ive had this sort of problem before though, just something I gotta live with sometimes.

And lol stern.
