    So what was the diagnosis?

    -No COVID.
    -No Flu.

    What did the doctor say?

    Hope you are feeling better, Marie! Your blood pressure is scary high.:eek: I think anytime you have an infection of some kind that can make both your blood pressure and heart rate high, so I have been told. Take care of yourself!

    He didn't really say where he thought I got it or what it was besides IMFLAMATION. John I think we both got that b ug when grocery shopping about 3 weeks ago.
    I looked online and only thing I could come up with was this new ' AUPER COLD going around.
    Starts in the sinuses, then quickly drops to the lungs with major congestion in both, blowing nose and intense coughing. Not bacterial or far as they know viral.

    She was told that she had Lung Inflammation. There are several causes for this to occur. Apparently, in Marie's case, she has a severe form of a common cold. Could be, the pathogen cause has not been identified as yet.

    Beth I took Amlodipine? at 9am, now its 2:40 pm BP is 100-62-110. See why I don't take it all the time my heart rate is always around 70-72. Bp med increases HR but BP has to come down, Don't know what to do anymore.
    Thats 2/12 mg half the 5mg pill.

    I think super colds have been around for several years. I know people who have had them and it takes a month or more to get over them. I have mentioned to people that colds seem to be much worse than they use to be.

    I know this one is said to have been going on since March, and it is true some colds last longer now.

    In combination with everything else it dure can be.:eek: I eat low carb for diabetes so already skinny, well this 'cold' also makes eating impossible so now I look like the dogs we adopted use to look, ER weighed me at 40.1 ? kg, I jokingly ask what that is do I look like a mathematician ytpe person to you, he laughed and said in pounds about 108. Why in the heck did they change our measuring system?
    Hubby is worried said he wants me on some major fattening foods.

    Of course, the steroids make my blood glucose go to the moon, so my peripheral necrophagy is hurting and making my legs number.

    I just sucked some salt water up my nostril's to clean out my sinus and it came out my ears!:eek:o_O.
    I ask Jake to listen to it while I held my nose and blew and he said, " that's sick I don't want to hear that".
    Who would've thought cleaning out your nose would also clean out your ears?:cool:

    I think I would have that looked at, just based upon my cursory reading of the web. If you have water in your eustachian tubes you may be exposed to the risk of infection, although I cannot find a concrete example of what you say you are experiencing.

    I have never irrigated my sinuses so have no first-hand experience.

    My first time too, but for now that will be on the back burner for a little while. I'm trying to exercise to keep PAD and sugar under control.
    But your right that would be a problem if I blew my nose and ear wax came out,or vice versa.:oops:
    If it ain't one thing its another. Guess I should have just stuck with the steam. The oral surgeon perforated my sinus last April when he pulled a tooth, Hubby was in the room when he did it and now has become a habitual tooth brusher.
