I'm scared!

how much blood was it? could be post-nasal drip after your cold. or maybe you coughed so much you irritated your throat really bad. do you use electric heat? that's really drying. Poor thing, get better soon! it's CHRISTMAS in a couple of days!!! And I am pretty sure you don't have the hanta virus

I know, I just always think the worse.

But I still have this breathing problem and it is really getting to me. Dan is at work all day today so I am going to see if his dad can take me into the hospital.

Yes we do have electric heating and the heater is on all day so.....My nose is very dry. It started running yesterday too! I knew I was going to be sick on Christmas, urrgh! I guess now I can rant and rave like a kid and say......."It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!".

And I have been sneezing like crazy. I better get better soon. I do not want to be in bed on Christmas.

What a scarey thing to have happen. If you are feeling flu like symptoms, you probably do have a sinus and/or a chest infection, and antibiotics would clear it up. You need to see a doctor so it doesn't turn into pneumonia though

I was a bit achy for a few days but that passed. I don't think it is the flu but indeed a cold. My colds always seem to last about three weeks (three weeks of hell!) and then go away. I did have pneumonia when I was younger and was actually hospitalized. My breathing feels more like asthma, but I haven't had problems with this since I was a child.

I can feel the shortness of breath more in my throat than my chest, if any of you have had this feeling? It's kind of like someone has a slight grip around your throat. Yep, that's what it feels like. It's like I have a burp that cannot come out or something. It's really weird. maybe it is a buildup of mucous? Well wish me luck.

Good luck at the hospital, I do hope Dan's Dad can take you. If you see a doc today, at least they can give you something to maybe make you feel slightly better and you can enjoy Christmas.

Being in a really dry house can cause nosebleeds, but not blood in your mouth. Asthma can feel like your throat is closing, getting clogged, even if it's your lungs that are worse off, and it's nothing to mess with either way.

This is a sign of stress....it happens to me during finals and anything were I am in a stressful situation that lasts days/weeks.

You other symptoms sounds like a cold or allergy symptoms.

You really need to get some medical help...your son needs a healthy mommy.
