Ill share my recent health experience over the past week because I learned something new. A week ago Kinley had a high fever of 103.5. She ran a fever for two day, just had chills and body aches. She gets well, goes to school for Wed/Thur the misses Friday because now she had a 24-hr stomach flu. Well, that Thursday night through Monday night, I was plagued with chest pains and aches. It felt like I had been in a car accident. It was painful when I took deep breaths. I too ran a fever on Sunday, but didnt have other symptoms. Yesterday morning I felt great when I woke up. However, immediately after work I had a hiccup attack hit me and even though I could get rid of it with home remedies, they would return. I was now suffering heart burn and my chest was hurting again after 7-hours of straight hiccups. The returned when I woke up the morning. So, with the hassle of changing doctors (because of the BC/BS CHI fiasco) I finally made a doctors appoint with UNMC. What happened with me. I caught the virus Kinley had. I cant even spell the name of the virus, but in me, it caused inflammation of the lining of the lungs. So that caused my chest pains and sharp pains when I took a deep breath. Next my chronic hiccups are a side affect as the nerve which controls the diaphragm became inflamed and hiccups are a result of the healing process. Whew! Who knew, I learned something new today. Ironically, taking my anxiety medication and ibuprofen will help stopping the hiccups from returning until the nerve heals/calms down. Ive eaten over a dozen tablespoons of honey and Ovaltine!
