Hi all,
I haven't posted in a while but thought I would.
I am currently 12 1/2 weeks pregnant. I am on a pre natal vitamin, albuterol inhaler, (another inhaler, forgot name) sinus rinse, and just started prevacid. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, I was around my cousin who was getting over being sick. She had a bad cough and lost her voice for about a week. Well a day or so after being around her (I was at the mall with her so not like I was sitting in a small room with her) my throat hurt a little then my voice was gone. It has slowly improved but now it is to the point where it is worse in the mornings and gets a little better in the afternoons. It is raspy like I'm a smoker. I have talked to Mayo Clinic, Dr. Specks actually had his nurse leave me a message because my doc, Dr. Keogh is out of town. Dr. Specks said it is probably just an upper respiratory something going on since I was around my cousin, but if it doesn't get better, call my local ENT or go to Mayo. The nurse said to also check my peak flow and that can help me get an idea if my breathing is getting worse. Well, my peak flow is good and I feel fine it is just my voice. So today, I put a call into my local ENT and will see what they say. Before pregnancy I was on a Symbicort inhaler and that worked really well, so I don't know if it is because I switched inhalers or what. It is also allergy season, I also have post nasal drip (I always do though). So there are many things I can chalk it up to. I just hope its not the start of a flare. I had CBC blood work and that was normal, I had my urine checked the other day, waiting to hear back on that. That was for a pregnancy check up but I told my doc to check for everything. I haven't had kidney involvement so I am hoping my urine is normal, it always has been.
Any thoughts?
