Am i dying yet?

Illness had taken a turn for the worse. Had fever on and off during the weekend so you can say i was wavering between being totally concuss or totally zonked out. The fever medication and antibiotics made me sleep most of the time. I was also quite breathless, though i didn't give it much thought as i had a block nose as well. But when the breathlessness came each time i took the antibiotics, i became a lot more concerned because i have stopped other medication. It was especially bad this morning when i attempted to go back to work and by 10am, i was panting like a horse and wheezing like a cow (do cow wheeze?). Basically i was turning flushed and hyperventilating because i was breathing so hard trying to catch my breath. Called the doctor who told me to go to the clinic immediately. Anyway, changed my antibiotics to another one as he suspect i may be having some adverse reactions to it (never tried that antibiotics before also) and gave me ventolin to help me breathe better. Only drawback was that it left me with slight tremours in my hands. 2 more days of MC on top of everything.

Anyway, now i have no more voice, slight tremours and occasional breathlessness.

Things could be a lot worse?

Thanks to friends who came by to see me and bring me fruits and herbal tea.
Like i said, i am so fortunate to have friends like you guys. :)
