I've just got in from a week in hospital that could of so been easily avoided and also could so easily been you.
I would imagine that I'm the same as most of you on this web site give or take a few small detail/age but basicly the same.
age 44 married with children happy and very fit, work hard company owner. Play hard Work hard attidute.
Last weekend working on our new property digging mixing general hard work nothing new just basic work, a bit breathless but I was lifting heavy.
Monday felt great off to work as usual, seeing customers at lunch then back to the office bit of paper work few phone calls then had a big chiver go over me at about 2.30pm then by 3.00pm shaking so hard can't hold a phone. I drove home (I know how stupid) car heating on max now wearing a coat as well to stop the shaking.
Made it home by 3.30pm and in to bed, my wife gives me lemsip ect ect thinking I've got man flu, can't remember to much as sleeping and so much pain in my head. About 9.00pm coughting blood heigh temp and feel like my lungs are filling with water and can't breath.
She called the NHS help line who would not let her off the phone until the ambulance arrived and took me away, I can't remember much after this as I was in and out of conciosness and unbelivable pain all over, my best mate met the ambulance at the hospital and he seriously did not think I was cmming out again. Diagnosed with double pnemonia.
So what I'm trying to say is if you feel a bit off but nothing to bad just go visit the doctors half an hour out your day is a lot better than a week in hospital and proberly another 2 weeks off work with rest,
Just take a break see your doc and please don't push and work all the time it will catch up with you and I don't wish that on any one on here, so every now and again chill out stop work and relax enjoy what you have that bit of work will wait for a day or so.
