Hi,

Funny you should mention chest cold, I've been feeling like crap all day and keep coughing up stuff. I'm asthmatic too which doesnt help. At first i thought I might be coming down with a chest infection but think theres something going round. Sure it will pass in a couple of days...

Hi
a tachycardia is very common with infection and a temperature, its just your body's reaction to it and its way of fighting the infection. It is horrible though when its happening.
