Went to hospital on sat night as was a bit short of breath at times, bit of a tickly cough - had seen Dr week before and told I had chest infection.
Anti biopiotics for a week but didn’t seem to clear so went hospital
They whisked me straight in , put me on ecg etc and did X-ray which showed fluid in lungs,
Did blood tests etc and all came back ok.
No diabetes
No liver probs
No clots
No pneumonia
Non smoker
43
Colestrol ok
No heart attack etc
But slightly high Blood press and fast pulse , been kept in for obs for a few days and going home today as I have felt absolutely fine since fluid was removed by dioretics,
Trouble is docs say I can’t drive but aren’t clear on why, the pulmonary odema could be caused by a chest infection - which I had and now all my blood press etc is normal.
They are giving me some dioretics tablets and a tablet to lower blood press to go home with.
My issue I they are passing it as heart failure but have no symptoms other than higher blood press / pulse butthey say I’m low risk?
I’m 6ft and 20 St so I’m heavy NS could do with moving some weight but I’ve always been big - rugby martial arts body building etc
Informing dvla is scaring the crap out of me as ther have no grey area and this seems to be
Should I go to another doc for a medical in a few days and get a second opinion?
Stupid thing is I can still drive a car and ride a motorcycle!!
