Medical Forum / General / General / February 2007There is doctor (logic) inside everyone.
So I have 3 'common cold' spells lasting for 4-5 months. Third one is still continuing. On earlier occasions doctors gave me treatment for common cold, sinus, allergy. But it was not working. So doctor told me to check blood. I was sure that pathalogist will find 'malaria' even though it is not malaria. That is what happened. I knew I don't have malaria. But still took those malaria pills. Nothing happened. Common cold was still there. I stopped consulting doctors. After few months it was gone automatically. Same problem is now. First i consulted family doctor. Then I consulted second doctor. I told doctor that I have history of long spells of common cold. I am regular smoker. I suggested doctor for chest x ray. He said, 'not necessary'. Now I consulted third doctor. He also said that chest x-ray is not necessary. I virtually forced him to do chest x ray. And he detected bronchitis. All my symptons agree with bronchitis. I will do what is necessary to cure bronchitis. But I am disappointed with so called qualified doctors. If I had not forced to do chest x- ray this problem would have continued and it can be fatal. High density lipid - 43. Low density lipid - 134. Platelets - 391000/cmm. Blood pressure - 130/80. But it is normal for doctor. I asked him, 'how exactly stress leads to artery blockades?'. He could not answer. What if I am under stress? So be the torch of logic with you when you go to the doctor. >So I have 3 'common cold' spells lasting for 4-5 months. Third one is >still continuing.

The most important thing you can do to cure your bronchitis is to stop smoking. Pretty much all smokers develop chronic bronchitis. >But I am disappointed >with so called qualified doctors. If I had not forced to do chest x- >ray this problem would have continued and it can be fatal. If you don't quit smoking, the problem will continue and get worse. The only value of the chest x-ray was to make you take the problem more seriously. However, if it doesn't make you take it seriously enough to stop smoking, it was of no value. >High density lipid - 43. >Low density lipid - 134. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >What if I am under stress? Smoking is a much higher risk factor for heart disease than your lipid profile or your level of stress. It also greatly increases your risk of several forms of cancer, COPD, and a number of other debilitating chronic or more rapidly fatal conditions. About half of smokers die of conditions caused by smoking. >So be the torch of logic with you when you go to the doctor. The torch of logic says your problem is caused and exacerbated by smoking. I'm sure your doctor has told you that, and you know it too. But you are demonstrating real denial by blaming your problems on the doctors, and not your smoking. It's not easy to break a nicotine habit, but you can do it. Most people have to try several methods before they find one that works permanently for them, so don't give up if your first efforts fail. One of the more effective methods is the nicotine patch, which lets you tackle the physical and psychological aspects of the addiciton separately, but there are other methods that work too. > So I have 3 'common cold' spells lasting for 4-5 months.

Smoking causes long cancer, bladder cancer, stomach cancer, mouth cancer, emphysema, heart disease, strokes, etc. > High density lipid - 43. > Low density lipid - 134. > Platelets - 391000/cmm. > Blood pressure - 130/80. > > But it is normal for doctor.

Nothing happens to them no matter how much they smoke. But I am NOT going to assume that I am 'god gifted'. I am cutting down smoking to less than 25%. > > High density lipid - 43. > > Low density lipid - 134. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Not only is it normal for doctors, it is normal for patients.

Speaking of God, did you know this week the Christian season of Lent begins. It is traditional for for Christians to give up something, like candy or soda until Easter. Guess what I suggest you give up? But forever, not just until Easter. Jeff > > So I have 3 'common cold' spells lasting for 4-5 months. Third one is > > still continuing.
