Mrs DAVIES Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Is he all right? Has that chest cleared up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I’m doing alright Kay. Not sure if you are aware but I have pneumonia (just coming up to six weeks). I am coming towards the end of my second course of antibiotics but don’t seem to be improving. If it hasn’t cleared up by Friday I have to get back in touch with my GP. It’s more of an annoyance than an illness. I feel weak, have a chesty cough, and am wheezy and congested. It had better clear up soon I still have three 200km Audax rides to complete before the month is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 This sounds very familar! I had exactly the same a couple of years ago and the problem is that being an active cyclist masks the problem, so you think that its "just" a cough. Like you I was wheezy and was taking every thing I could from the chemist but it refused to go. I also started being sick after doing a big effort on a climb, when I simply could not get enough air in to my lungs. One particular long and steep climb (over the Long Mynd I seem to recall) finally broke me and I honestly thought that I was going to cough my lungs up, so it was at this point I finally went to see my GP. He sent me for chest x ray the same day, so I guessed that something wasnt right! Sure enough the x ray revealed pheumonia and it took two courses before it finally shifted.

Sean Barker Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks guys but don't get overly concerned, I'm feeling better by the day. In fact I went out for a ride today but felt quite delicate (average speed 12mph) Still it's a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
