waking up unable to breath - update

[Guest guest]

Hi!

Thanks to all those that replied to my post about waking up unable to

breath in the night until i sat up.

I went to my GP who organised some blood tests, these showed chronic

anemia [apparently 6g whatever that means!]. He said i needed an

immediate blood transfusion, but looks like that will happen on

Monday. Also my iron level was rock bottom.

He thinks it might be because of my crap diet or perhaps some sort of

internal bleeding. He thinks that the waking up unable to breath

business might be flash heart attacks [whatever they are.] He has

also prescribed iron tablets [i shall self medicate with Guinness!]

Have made an appointment with my surgeon for the 30th of June think i

should have my 'e' checked out before my next stretch in case acid

reflux has damaged it and that is where the blood loss is.

Happy swallowing!!

Regards

Tim
