Fluid On Lungs & Difficulty In Breathing Posted: 08-18-04 01:32am
Has anyone else suffered nasal congestion
of pregnancy?
I've been stuffed up since I got pregnant,
but recently its got worse in the past few
days I have had 3 episodes of
coughing/choking where I am bringing fluid
off my lungs. Its definitely from my
lungs and not just being sick as last
night it happened right after dinner and I
kept my dinner down.
I've had less than 5 hours sleep and woke
up coughing. I haven't had any fluid this
morning but I am finding it real hard to
breathe.
I don't (so far) have asthma. The fluid
is clear and kind of like runny snot
(gross sorry). It's not just a little bit
either, well over a cupful. I'm sure it's
not swallowed from my stuffy nose, cuz I
hate that and always blow, but then my
nose hasn't really been runny, more like
the inside of my nose is swollen.
I am gonna ring my doctor as soon as the
surgery opens but that's an hour off yet.

Sometimes when I bend over I get a pain in
the lower part I dont know what I would
call it but I am gonna tell my doc when I
go, but does anyone know what it might
be... Its not all the time just
sometimes.

Well just got back from doctor, who
prescribed me an aqueous nasal spray to
use once at night - don't see how this is
going to stop fluid on my lungs mind you.
he was a locum my normal doctor is on
holiday until friday.
If it's no better by then i'll go see my
usual doctor.
Picked up a handful of reference leaflets
too, I know most of the info will be uk
based but it may still be helpful.

Lol I figured that was what had happened -
we all do it once
thing is I didn't have any allergies that
I was aware of before hand.
I used the spray this morning (doc said
once in evening but I was desperate)
before I went to have a nap (been up since
5.30 and needed a nap before working) and
I think it may have helped - I can kind of
breathe :d

I cant breathe either. My nose has been
stuffed up since I remember. Might be
allergies though for me. At least you got
something prescribed.
