Thurs - Hubbs kicked my ass at the gym! It was awesome!!! Ran on the treadmill in small bouts, then lifted and did some abs. The running was absolutely ridiculous. It hurt so much to breathe!
Fri - Woke up with a blinding sinus headache. Went home from work after an hour and took a 3 hour nap, which helped the headache a bit. Was a little wheezy which felt like my lungs were still recovering from the cardio shock they received the night before. Later that evening, the headache was coming back and the coughing came more frequently.
Sat - Woke up feeling like I had a cold. Dry cough, post-nasal drip, congestion, dry, watery eyes. Not much of a headache. Nose really isn't running, but there is major phlegm in the back of the throat.
Sun - Cough cough cough cough, etc etc etc. Congestion right behind my nose way far in the back.
Mon - woke up feeling really groggy and still coughing with congestion, but I can still breathe through my nose. Only worked a half-day, going in at 12:30. Felt pretty ok at work. Mon night sleep was awful! Coughed a lot.....waking up almost every hour. Hubbs was worried.....Got me some water and offered to get me some cough medicine or mucinex. I didn't take any--was just desperate to sleep. Sitting up doesn't seem to ease the coughing like usual.
Tues - No sleep = feels like crapola. Extremely horse due to coughing all night. Didn't go to work. Feeling congested with sinus pressure, but a very slight headache. Not much going on with the nose, just really congested and the cough is still non-productive. Once I blew my nose I could breathe out of it again. Can't really tell if the mucus is green or yellow or not. I guess I don't really pay attention to what color it is normally!
So, WTF?!?!? Do I go to the doctor? What do I tell him? I can help but think this is related to the running I did at the gym. Either that or it was a HUGE coincidence that I got sick the day after that workout.
Don't know what to do! I don't have time to be sick right now! GRRR! But here I am, chillin' at home trying to recuperate, debating on whether or not to call the doctor.
*sigh*
I was slightly productive, though! Balanced the checkbook and realized that yes, we will be able to make our house payment on the 1st. It seems like every other month we're scrambling to pay bills. However, no more car payment! Woo hoo! That will help alot.
Ok, that slight headache I mentioned is coming back. Time for some more mucinex and ibuprofen. Bye!
