Two weeks ago I went to the ER for coughing up mucus with blood. A nurse came at me with a swab to test for the flu. She pushed it up so far that my nose gushed blood. The pain was so bad, I went into shock and my heart rate dropped to 37. They almost killed me(I have heart disease btw). They said it is viral. That is BS!!! Here I am day 14 with metallic taste in my mouth, no voice STILL like day 1, coughing up yellow, green, rust and clear mucus, fever STILL. I have Lupus, and sjogrens syndrome. I can't sleep laying down without coughing a lung up, intolerable pain, and no relief in sight. Totally incompetent, and very dangerous flu swab practice.
