I don't know if I should be calling my cardiologist or trust my new PCP. I've been having more issues than I would like to say with my Crohn's disease and all. Let's say I know the value of water and staying hydrated.
Anyhow, I've had what I thought was a pretty nasty cold for about a week now. I was so congested that when I did the neti pot the water didn't come out of the other side. It just stayed there! So I decided it was worth a trip to the Doctor. He told me that it wasn't a cold that it was allergies and gave me Zyrtec.
Here is my situation. My chest is very congested I sound like a freight train at times when breathing. Its kinda hard to breathe especially when trying to lay flat. I've been in CHF before and it feels kinda similar. I also don't get the typical swelling that accompanies CHF.
Should I worry or should I lay it on allergies? My new job starts Monday and I don't wanna be a wreck to start with!
