I think I have a cold. For the last couple of days, I have seen blood in my phlegm.... just droplets. My question is does this have anything to do with the combination of asthma and a cold ? Don't worry, I am 10 zillion % sure that I don't have tuberculosis as I have been tested at least nine times in the last year..as recently as a month back.

Plus, I am having bouts with dizziness at the moment.

Oh right, I am taking Albuterol, Qvar, Iron, Zinc, Airborne, sucking on Ludens throat drops and Vitamin C drops , eating normally, and downing at least one of those store bought large Frappacinos ( sp ? ) each day. My resting heart rate earlier was 84..which is high.

From time to time, I have difficulty swallowing. I either start choking or it hurts like no ones business to swallow. That has been going on for a while though.

Oh, and my period was strange this month. Three or four days of light light blood, three or four days of very heavy bleeding, and then when I took iron.. light blood. Stopping the iron twice stopped the light flow after the heavy flow..only to start again lightly when I took the iron. ** Finally **, my period stopped.

My personal medical history includes right now -- > anemia and asthma. Diagnosis of adhd in 2006.

Less than a year ago --> Gash to head , severe pain in chest for about a month due to attempting to avoid getting hit by a car on my inline skates. X rays were negative for collapsed lung apparently.

Around three years back --> radial head fracture

About four years back -- > The thing that adults gets after chicken pox. Quite often, it is older people that get this.

Ten years back --> bacterial pneumonia. Found out I have deviated septum at the same time.

Sixteen to fourteen years back -- > Knee surgery. Once on each knee.

Sixteen years back -- > Open and closed head injury. Intensive care stay, twice a week visits to neuroligist for a few years.

As a child -- > Ear infections, chicken pox, hand foot and mouth, cuncussions ( sp ? ) from doing stupid things
