My Health Goes Up And Down
This has been a rather up and down week for how I feel.
On Monday, I had an echo-cardiogram and I think it went pretty well. At least I was told it was better than the last one.
But then yesterday, I went to Brighton for lunch and coming back, the weather had broken and I was choking and wheezing, like I did as a child.
I was feeling bad in the the evening and I texted a friend, who has suffered similarly this winter. She texted back “Not cough but catarrh and intermittent headache.”
That could sum me up too and in some funny ways, I’m almost worse indoors.
I’m looking at how all this relates to my INR, which I’m now taking daily.
At least my INR is within its prescribed range and for the last few days it has been spot on 2.5, as measured by my CoaguChek device.
Just going to have a bath and put my head under the water. Temporarily I should add!
The Anonymous Widower 
The general catarrh and headache is helped, at least for me, by Uncle Joe’s Mintballs – they are gluten free, and they use peppermint oil, and as it is released as you suck the mint it really does get into the sinuses etc. And none of the unhealthy fillers that are in “cough sweets”.
