I'm sick but have issue with gettin to general dr

every year about i get a bad chest cold that usually ends me up in going to a general doctor to get some meds for usually bronchitis some times pneuma i'm a smoker with asthma which doesn't help and a little cold to one is more to me as i know others are with too. Any ways this year it's came earlier with the hit. I told myself ok wait a week if it's still around or worsens go see a doc . Week two it was worse and now on week three i'm still coughing and badly when trying to sleep and the other day my tummy was so bad i had to miss work.

I give excuse i don't have the money, maybe next week. Sigh i just don't get me. Last cold i had i waited till i had bad headaches from sinus that made driving hard at night.

Does anyone else do this i was wondering. Idk i know partially why due to my mom when i was a kid and nagging about doc bills is why but should i not be passed that. Idk why else i don't go into the doctor for this sort of stuff i just let it get worse. I did this with my back too. I waited 6 months of pain and not able to get up right from sleep before taking some care into it. Sigh. Just was wondering

I read your post thinking to myself....That's me! Smoker,asthma. I get the same thing every year too. I did finally start going to the doctor even though I don't have ins. I am trying to finally take a little bit better care of me, just hope it's not to late! I will if you will K?

I will try better- I know we all need to take care of ourselves in the end but still I seem to struggle with it- sometimes I am like it will get better- but before i know it a month has past with getting worse or being the same (lol)

I will try with you gma
