I’ll make this short and quick. My condition has deteriorated that I had to get admitted to the hospital.
Right chest pain has gotten worst to the point that 30mg of oxycontin, with 10mg oxycodone for breakthrough pain was not even working.
I’ve also had extreme shortness of breath, even the slightest movement like going to the washroom and back to bed causes me to huff and puff.
It’s the worst kind of feeling, feels like you’re being suffocated.
What helped resolve it at home was 10mg of oxycodone and breathing in front of a fan.
When I got admitted Sunday, my blood oxygen level was 93%, and supplementary oxygen helped tremendously.
I’m now on 45mg of Oxycontin every 8 hours which kills the pain satisfactorily. It’s the extreme shortness of breath is what I’m afraid of now. Ever since my condition started spiraling down, this had gotten worst.
I’m afraid it may come to a point when simple movements may cause me grief and suffocate me.
I’m still in the hospital for now while they monitor me. If I’m stable enough by the end of the week, I might get sent home.
