I went to see my Lovely Lady Doctor a short while ago. She's pleased that my breathlessness is so much better but is a bit bothered by the cough. Apparently this particular blood pressure medication can cause coughing as a side effect and the fact that I already had a cough has probably exacerbated the problem. However, it may go away or at least improve to the point where I can stand it, and when we get the blood results from my visit to hospital she may decide to increase the diuretic, which may also help.
She's prescribed a nasal spray to help reduce the rhinitis which may be making it worse, but I just couldn't wait at the pharmacy, since the queue was actually out the door and I always have to wait for hours anyway, because I don't get a little packet of pills, I get a plastic shopping bag full of them. Sigh!
So I shall have to get up early-for-me tomorrow as the pharmacy delivery is usually about 8.00 am.
She did say that the cardiac rehabilitation course may very well help me to get rid of some of the oedema through exercise. That would be great if it happens!
So far it's been a lovely warm sunny day. Just as well, since the boiler is playing up again. I almost stepped into an icy cold shower this morning. I can do without that!
I'm absolutely shattered. I didn't get to sleep till after 2.00 because Arthur was giving me gyp and I woke up at 5.15 choking with coughing, buggrit. Maybe I'll have a nap this afternoon.
