I have bronchitis and I'm having problems taking big...

[aimeeschewe]

...breaths,my chest hurts,and I can't stop coughing HELP! I went on vacation and came back seriously sick. I've went to the Dr. he did a few test. gave me medicine, it did nothing.So I've been sick 2 and 1/2 weeks off work for 1. And I am miserable. I take big breaths, my chest hurts, and I can't barely stop coughing, and I'm randomly nautious. I know I have what I believe is acute bronchitis , but what will make it dissappear. It's ruling my life and causing me to loose money due to not being able to work?

GO TO THE HOSPITAL! Why waste time asking people who don't know your medical history on the Internet? Go to the hospital and see a doctor.

Go to another Doctor.

this requires antibiotics so not much you can do at home. Just hit up the ER , who the hell wants to wait for the doctor.In the meantime , warm fluids, chicken soup and something that dislodges mucous and makes you cough it up , like mucenex, but you need antibiotics.

You might also wish to get check again. You might have gotten and infection or pneumonia. Depending on where you went on vacation have you gotten checked for TB? (Tuberculosis)

you need to see the doctor again! i have had bronchitis several times and it didn't last 2 1/2 weeks! i know how you feel about not being able to breath! i have asthma and it acts up sometimes! you could have pneumonia also! you may need a round of prednisone!this dilates the bronchial tubes! before you get to the doctor you can go into the bathroom and run the shower for the steam! use some vicks salve on your chest! also mucinex pills help with the excess mucus. good luck! hope you feel better soon!

MULLEIN, JACOB'S STAFF, FLANNEL-LEAF(Verbascum thapsus)[It comes from a HUGE family!] "Cultivation & Uses: ...Herbalists recommend mullein leaves as one of the safest and most useful herbal lung tonics. The leaves have an expectorant and soothing action on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Take mullein for easing the symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, dry coughs, and laryngitis..."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullein*> There are some contraindications for taking Mullein with some conditions, though.Wildman Steve Brill has interesting online info about it,and, so do some other sites...Gary Craig's EFT might be something you could make work for you. It is free, online info, & you can hire a coach listed on his site, if you choose not to learn how to do it yourself. There are ample experiences in the site's archives, & also a forum where you can ask for advice. You-tube has several online video examples of how EFT is done, too.It's easy to become pessimistic at this point, but very important to fight against the tendency.
