Now my lungs seem to have gone wrong

I have had a chronic cough on and off for a few years but this morning I could feel my lungs were so wheezy and tight and the cough has got worse. I am on carbimazole so wondered if I should be worried? No mouth ulcers and throat not sore. It just feels as though my lungs are waterlogged or something. I had a bit of a crisis bringing the horses in today. Quite a dangerous situation as one had escaped into others' field and so easy to get hurt. I was just leading them in when I coulld hardly get my breath and had chest pains. I have an appointment with my GP on Wed but am wondering if I should go in earlier. I feel fine now just sitting down mut my lungs are not right.

    Hi, evergreen, I think you should get in sooner. I'm not a Dr. but they way you are describing your lungs you may need a chest xray.

    Maybe since you have been coughing and your pain could possibly be pneumonia. I personally think you shouldn't mess around with those symptoms and see your Dr. sooner so you can have a chest xray or what he professionally thinks you need to help you with your complaints.

    Good luck. I'm sure its fine but better safe than sorry.

    God bless you,

    Kristy k

      Thanks, Kirsty, I will certainly go tomorrow if I don't feel any better. I have taken my temperature and it's normal, but somethingis not right with my lungs.

    Hello Evergreen.

    ​Have you ever thought that you could have asthma  that could make you wheeze and have a tight chest,its just a thought.

      Thanks. Yes, I may have. My mum had late onset asthma. So far this morning it feels slightly better, although I've not done anything strenous yet. I think I can rule out an infection though. If it gets worse again, I'll go to the docs this morning, if not, I'll stick to my regular appointment tomorrow.
