I understand the stress you are talking about.
I ended up going into the hospital for IVs just over a week ago. I was having times where I could hear and feel stuff moving around in my lungs and I couldn't dislodge it. I would try and try and try. I did hours of vest treatment doubled my albuterol treatments - increased my saline, increased my water intake had people do CPT on me and would hack and cough for good chunks of time and still when I went to stop and rest there it would be that nagging sound of shifting mucus/sputum or whatever it was in my lungs like it was clinging to my airways, and I could just hear the air blowing through it with each breath (I know gross and maybe an overshare - but highly frustrating and upsetting that I couldn't get rid of it). Within a day of starting IVs that stuff was gone. I am still on IVs as I sit here - for another week at least. I just wanted to let you know that I understand your worry - I do not get bleeds really so I do not comprehend that fear as well but the worry that there is something more serious going on I get that.
I will be thinking of you and hoping that it starts to improve and go away.
Take Care,
Lindsey
