Need Help - Worried about possible lung damage - undiagnosed
I live in Mozambique and traveled the South of China for a month in July 2006. Since returning I had a bad case of the flu. I never got over the flu and struggled with a cough for month. Eventually the bottom of my lungs began to fell as if they were puffing and made strange noises. X-rays were clear. I used 2 sets of antibiotics. Four months later I went to a Spec Physician and he gave me Ventese 2 puffs 4 x/d and budeflam 2 x 2/d. The coughing has stopped and the lungs appear clear on x-ray is still clear. Now five months later I still can’t sleep. I can hear and feel movement in my lungs. I am not running fevers at all. Sometimes I am aware of my lungs when I sit down or walk down the stairs, I feel them. Does this make sense? I am not short of breath, and am not wheezing. I have never had asthma before. I am very worried about possible expose to something either in China or Mozambique were I believe various bacterial infections are common. We are quite far from good medical facilities. Do you have any idea what the problem is. 5 Months is just too long I feel as is I need to get this sorted sooner than later. I have never had this before. Thank you so much - Sonia Dawson
I was wondering if you have had any luck finding out what is happening with your lungs. I have had similar symptoms for the past 2 months. My symptoms occur in my lower left lung, these are the following symptoms: - Feels as if there gurgling in my lung...i can both hear and feel it.
- Bottom of rib cage is sore
- From a lying position when i turn side to side i can feel movement in lung.
I have searched for days trying to find info with no luck, i am hoping that you have found out something.
I have spoken to my doctor and he placed me on antibiotics, they helped while i was on them but symptoms came back 4-5 days after meds were finished.
Any info would be very helpful.
Thank you
