very sick-does coughing affect the band

[donna12 742]

I am very sick coughing non-stop and gagging from it, fever, headache, nasal drainage, sore throat. Went to a walk in clinic today because that is all I had access to and they tested me for flu, came back negative, said it was viral and had to run its course, gave me cough med and other meds but nothing is helping the cough. Can coughing this much and this hard affect the band?

Thanks

I don't know the answer to your question but I hope that you start to feel better!!

thank you creekwood, I do too, I haven't been this sick in a long time. Sure thought it was the flu.

Unfortunately yes it can. It's not common but it is possible.

I would call your surgeon, explain what's going on, and see if he will call you in a good cough suppressant.

Yes it can. I had them remove Fluid because if u tight and coughing could get small dilation. With less fluid Np say I should be fine.

This crap ain't no joke! I feel like death. I tried to eat a hard boiled egg this morning and got stuck, then tried yogurt, got stuck, guess all the mucus and drainage. I called my surgeon and he told me to go to the hospital walk in clinic. Well I went to a walk in clinic yesterday at Walgreens, no I didn't see a "quote unquote dr" just a nurse Pract. but today I seem to be worse, coughing up mess and this morning it was pink like blood in it but I just figured maybe from a bloody nose during the night, sorry to be so gross. The walk in clinic at the hospital is open all weekend so I will give it till tomorrow or sunday morning maybe. Lordy I feel like crap.

I was told that if I developed a cough after I was in the hospital I was to call my surgeon's office. I did have a cough but I cough due to asthma and copd. The cough did not continue after about 3 hours of getting home.. I did have a temp and called about that but was told since it had gone down and cough had not continued I was OK and have been since day one.
