I have been noticing that I am tired every day, no matter how long I sleep. I’ll sleep for 12 hours, but I’ll still feel fatigued during the day. In the morning my nose will be a little stuffy, and my lungs will hurt. The lungs hurting goes away after I’ve been up for a few hours, and the nose gets better and/or unnoticeable as well. I don’t smoke regularly (I’ll smoke once every couple weeks or so at the pub,). What’s going on with me? It’s been going on for a while, I just didn’t really notice it because it was so gradually, and the symptoms aren’t hugely life-interference. Is this allergies? Sleep apnea? Lung cancer? What’s going on!!
The pain is mild, and only in the morning; more of an ache, really. Sometimes a bit of a cough accompanies it, and it is with a stuffy nose and scratchy eyes. Obviously I need to have a doctor check, but that answer isn’t very helpful.
Again, I’m American: we don’t get to just "go to the doctor" unless we want to be "going to the bank" for a very long time. I’m wondering if anyone has an educated diagnosis based on my symptoms alone. Obviously a trip to the doctor would be important, but if that was something I could easily do, I would have.
