This nurse would recommend a follow up visit with your physician. Discuss your fears and concerns with her openly. She's there to help you. I hope you feel better soon.

I echo the above poster - return to your MD. Good luck - hope you feel better soon.

It is a major no-no for a nurse to give medical advice, even if he/she is there to help you out of the goodness of his/her heart.

Please go see your doctor. Good luck.
