Cough Update

The medications my doctor gave me for the cough seem to have done their job. I still have a slight cough, but nothing like it was two weeks ago. The end is finally in sight! Woohoo!!

Health Again

This has just not been a good few months for me health wise. I absolutely know it could be worse, but I don't like it. For the second time in less than a month, I ended up in bed early Saturday with a migraine. I got quite a few migraines before I had Olivia. I had maybe one a year after having her. I have had three in the last two months & two of those have been within the last month or so. I don't know if they are related to the other issues, if they are a side effect of or triggered by medication, or just simply a "cycle" my body is just going into. If they continue, another visit to my doctor will be in order. Boy, she's going to think I am a hypochondriac or something. ;)

Doctor Visit

Just got home from my doctor appointment a little while ago. All the numbers on the bloodwork are good. Cholesterol is excellent (her words once again). Total cholestorol 165, HDL 65 LDL 70. I don't recall triglycerides, but know they were under the 100 that is optimal.

The cough that is lingering is now being treated as acid reflux and asthma. If it doesn't clear up in two weeks, I have to go in for an asthma test and possibly a CAT Scan.

I mentioned the fainting to her. She knows of my fainting history (and that it urns in the family). It hasn't happened in years and will most likely be years before it happens again. She asked a few questions and made note of what I said. If it becomes more frequent, I am to call her and we'll address it then.

Then for my main concern -- the high blood pressure I had at my last visit about six weeks ago! No high BP this time -- 114/82.

So as long as I can kick this cough, I'm set for awhile.

Going Backwards

I seem to be going backwards with this illness. My sinus headache, stuffiness, sore throat, etc. are back. Call the doctor this morning & she is supposed to call another prescription into my pharmacist.

I plan to hit the hay early tonight.
