for antibiotics? i don't want to go out if i don't have to. we have terrible weather out there right now.
first..i sat next to a guy who was sick on the plane on saturday. he was coughing the whole time. there was nowhere to move to :/
sunday i felt fine.
monday i felt fine.
tuesday (yesterday), i woke up with a sore throat and attributed it to allergies. it lasted all day which is not typical with a sore throat from allergies. along with the sore throat all day, my chest felt a little weak, and i got little panging pains in my lymph nodes on my neck in the evening. aside from that i felt fine.
today i woke up with the same sore throat, and sore ears. by noon i was stuffy, had a headache, sneezy, and have body aches and chills, and my chest feels quite weak when i breathe (i have asthma that doesn't respond to any medication so my lungs are probably easily affected by any infection long before other people notice any symptoms). i'm getting panging pains on my temples, all around my head, and in the back of my neck from the base of my neck to the top of my neck. people talking hurts my head, especially trying to talk on the phone. my heart is pounding. (i normally have tachycardia which they do not know the cause of. heartrate of 110+ all the time with short intervals of a heart rate in the 70's every few minutes. it's called inappropriate sinus node tachycardia. currently now that i'm sick with this thing, my lowest heartrate is dropping down in the low points to 112, never dropping below that.) lymph nodes are not swollen.
is this a virus or bacteria?
i have chronic sinus infections for the last year (with constantly bleeding sinuses.) could this be a sinus infection or is it too different?
also, about a month ago i got a bacterial infection that occurred as a slight sore throat in the afternoon that felt like FIRE by night. it came on fast, like a virus, but turned out to be a bacterial infection as 10 days later i was sick as ever and got better with antibiotics. my lymph nodes were never swollen from this.
lastly, i am on synthroid to try and shrink a thyroid nodule, even though my thyroid levels are normal. can this medication lower my immune system?
