Hey. This is my first time posting to here. Here is the issue!!
A couple months back, I started to cough up bloody phlegm. I was given antibiotics, chest x-rays, and sent home. I got better in a couple of days. Then about 2 weeks ago, I was sleeping like crazy! I am a HIGHLY active person, and a person who gets 6-7 hours of sleep on a normal basis. But when it was time to get up and go to the gym at 5AM, I was just not able to get out of bed. I was sleeping about 13-14 hours a night! And even then I was dragging the rest of the day. I was doing the minimal that needed to be done in my day. Then I started to cough up the bloody phlegm again. I actually had a bit confusion as well. I say this, because. It was a Friday afternoon. I kept thinking "man I dont want to have to wait till Monday to call the Doctor!" I knew it was Friday. But for some reason it just wasn't clicking in my head I could still call the Dr. About 4PM, it just dawned on me. I went in, and she gave me a cup to put any bloody phlegm in, to take to the lab, antibiotics, and a TB test. I was saposse to go back in to have the TB test read, but never did. (I dont drive or have a vehicle, so its complicated. Normally I walk everywhere. In a normal week, it is common for me to walk at least 6+ miles a day, every morning alone I walk 4.5 miles to and from the gym) But being sooo tired, I just couldn't get where I needed to be. I have friends that can help, but lately, all of them havent been able to. Two friends who are always there to help me, where in Disney world.
But I never coughed up more bloody phlegm either to put in the lab cup thing either. I just took the antibiotics and felt better. So I figured I would just keep going about my life. Which I did.
Monday night, I started to get a terrible terrible headache. I went to bed early. I did a couple things I needed to do on Tuesday. But as soon as I got home at noon, I went right to sleep, and slept mostly till now. I would get up mainly to use the bathroom and drink water like a camel, and back to bed. Then this morning I started to cough up the bloody phlegm AGAIN.
Before I was sleeping like 20-22 hours a day. I did that for about 5 days. My head has been hurting so bad. Simply moving my head hurts. I realized how much I shake my head to get my hair out of my face, because I regret it each time I do it now. It hurts like no ones business.
Also I get out of breath VERY easily. Simply putting away dishes can make me need to sit down and catch my breath. (This is from a person who swims mad laps every morning, does weight training, and walks everywhere!) The sleeping is ridiculas! Last night I woke up and decided to eat some soup. I had like 4 spoons, and HAD to go back to bed. I was just to tired to even stay awake to eat.
I am starting to get extremely concerned at this point. What could this possibly be?
