Sjoerd's medical emergency discussion topic

[Isahh]

Yo bruh i heard about ur situation, rest easy man

[remy]

I was just told they want to keep me in the hospital for another day, and decide on sending me home again tomorrow.

...

But due to my medical situation, even if I get to go home tomorrow, I am forbidden from doing any work; my wife already said she is going to keep me away from my laptop (good luck trying, haha.... I will be permitted to watch TV, and I also use my laptop as a DVD player....)

I really want to continue, but a delay is just unavoidable.

Hey just take it easy. Beterschap en sterkte gewenst!

[Sjoerd]

Update: I am home again. I have to take medication for the next few months. It seems to be helping.
I will continue finishing the ZGT when I can, but at the moment I am not allowed to do anything other then relax and watch TV, in order to keep my heart rate down (due to my condition, it is still a bit too high)....
Thanks for your support! I'll keep you updated on any news.

Do you smoke ?

And do you have a specific suspicion as to what triggered the no idea (collapsed lung)?

Sorry to hear that you have been in hospital, glad you are recovering.
Rest easy, Sjoerd.

Well. Although smoking can cause lung cancer or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), It's very unlikely Sjoerd has a lung cancer, if he had it, he would know it and he would already tell us. I think he either had COPD (if he smokes, it's very likely) or maybe it was a strong pneumonia or bronchitis.
I know what I am talking about. One of my relatives passed away due to COPD. The said relative didn't smoke though, but he worked with combustion engine-operated machines a lot and possibly inhaled a huge amount of exhaust fumes (exhaust fumes, especially from old diesel engines, can cause COPD as well, if you're exposed to them for very long time).

About pneumonia, I had it when I was in the 8th grade in the elementary school (COVID-19 didn't exist yet), and I was on antibiotics for 2 weeks. I can say, I went through hell, when I had that pneumonia. Fevers, chills, feelings like, something heavy is on my chest, coughing and retching. Really unpleasant, but luckily, it wasn't so bad, so I needed to be hospitalized. I recovered from it after I took all the antibiotics I had.

About bronchitis, back in fall 2021, one evening, I didn't feel well, and my chest felt a bit funny, but I ignored it, thinking I just inhaled some dust, and I thought, I can get it out over time. But I was wrong! Later that night, I woke up choking and started coughing and retching. I tried to call for help, but I couldn't speak. Luckily after coughing frenzy I managed to catch a breath and I could speak again. Next morning, I went to nearest COVID-19 testing centre to get an antigen test to either confirm or dismiss, if I have a COVID-19 or not (I've got vaccinated against COVID-19 in the summer in the same year), when antigen test returned negative, I went to visit my doctor, who diagnosed me with bronchitis and since I was choking the previous night, she prescribed me a strong mucolytics to prevent choking from happening again. And why I was choking? According to my doctor, when I was asleep, the mucus in my infected bronchi and partially infected windpipe seeped into my throat and partially clogged the windpipe in it, That's why I was choking. The inability to speak was due to mucus getting into my vocal cords and gluing them open. Luckily, I didn't choke again and after a week and a half, I recovered from it.

Also a pneumothorax (collapsed lung)? I don't think so! Pneumothorax never occurs randomly and without an injury to the chest. The pneumothorax is always a consequence of a chest injury, which punctures pleural cavity and air leaks into it. It's very unlikely, Sjoerd had a pneumothorax, unless he got injured on his chest.
