i been sick for the last two weeks .. first i had a cold ... i kept dreading the fact that this cold brought on a cough and i was frightened that my chest would go into spasms like it used to and i would get a bronchitis attack....those are so painful
well i been tested and i dont have copd...
well as i waited , i treated this cold the same as any cold and went to work everyday and went to birthdays and tried to get rest...
i ate right i drank alot of fluids... still the cough got worse.. and soon i was coughing all night...
i woke up in the morning and my eyes were blood shot red...i had popped blood vessels in my eyes from coughing so hard,, so i went to the doctor and the doctor told me i had a lung infection....
so the moral of this story is you dont have to smoke to get a lung infection... smoking makes it more common and makes it easier to get but even after 9 moths of quitting your lungs are still healing and if you develope a cough you still need medical attention if it wont go away....i let it get too bad because i thought i was okay since i quit smoking and hadnt cheated... but you can still get sick...
