Chest Infections!

Little_Lou

Before I tell my tale let me just confirm I am seeing a Dr later this week - but just wanted to see if anyone had been through a similar thing!

Over Christmas and New Year I was diagnosed with a Severe Respiratory Infection, I'd had sinusitis and a chest infection so was signed off work. All in all I had three weeks off due the christmas closing.
I returned to work still feeling rough but couldn't afford to have any more time off.

I do not smoke, not over weight, eat healthily, exercise, and never had asthma.

This week I've started getting a chesty cough again and the same sypmtoms that I'd had when I had the chest infection.

I was wondering...... if my job has an effect on these recent chest infections, my job is based at a swimming pool and I spend approx 15hrs a week in water in a wet suit.

Does anyone know if chest infections are re-accuring and whether working in a damp environment is likely to be aggrevating it?!

Thank you *cough*

My OH and me have had this since New Years Eve off and on, have heard of loads of other people with the same thing,
you just have to grin and bear it Im afraid till it goes away in its own time,
