Panic Watch!

As the UN warns the swine flu outbreak might become a pandemic , Tansy Huws, originally from London but now living in Mexico, contracted symptoms and was prescribed Tamiflu. She contacted the BBC News website and has been giving updates on her situation.

I went to the hospital on Saturday. There were many people at the hospital waiting to be diagnosed.

The test was very simple - they just asked me questions and measured my blood pressure.

They prescribed me Tamiflu and I am now feeling much better now. I went to a private hospital and was lucky enough to get the drugs but I don't think the state hospitals would be as well resourced.

I asked them if it was swine flu but they weren't very clear, the information wasn't very good.
