Have you ever been sick, but uncapable of explaining what's wrong?
I currently am. Mom wants me to call the doc, but I've no idea how to describe my symptoms without sounding like I'm making it up.
Here's me trying my best:
I've been nauseous on and off the last few days
Also had stomach pains in different areas of my stomach on and off
I'm hot and cold at the same time, and sweating, but sometimes I'm at a good temperature. I still occasionally sweat even when I'm at a normal temperature tho
Every few hours I have a little bit of chest pains, but the exact location also changes.
Yesterday I had 2 episodes of wheezing when breathing normally
Moving about makes me slightly dizzy
There are occational joint pains, usually in my wrists.
My throat feels dry and warm sometimes, as if I'm breathing extremely hot air
My head feels like I'm wearing a beanie that's 2 sizes too small when I'm sitting still
I'm low on energy, but at the same time not (I can't explain it any better than that)
It's hard to focus my eyes, but I see normal
The 2 lumps I've had in my throat since december feel warm and and get painful now and then. Not related to the hot air and dryness tho
I get winded anytime I get off of the couch
My heart have bouts of beating harder,but at the normal pace
I was coughing yesterday, but not before or after
You get the gist...
How the heck should I explain this to the doc in one or two sentences? None of the docs here have the patience for more than that before interrupting to tell you "give it a couple of days. If you get worse, call again"
