hi hon...

oh yes i have had it... its awful... i fealt i couldnt breath ad my chest was really sort of tight. i fealt absolutly knackered and lousy but other than that couldnt quite put my finger on what was wrong. i went to dr and they said i could fight it myself then went back a week later and they said needed anti biotics. it has really set me back with my depression aswell.. i thought i was just coping and then fealt like absolute crap!!!!

get yourself to the drs. i was using menthol crystals to helpo me breath and i was taking cold and flu remedy from the chemist it did help me!!!

take care and i hope you feeling better soon.

Anybody basically just got a blocked and runny nose? With no other noticeable symptoms?

I have, and I'm hoping it's something that can explain my swollen cervical lymph node...

[phil06]

I've got a sore head and the side of my face feels strained at the cheeks..

anybody else got this?

[phil06]

I've had a blocked nose again and some patches of my skin has felt sensitive and cold..is that a sign of a cold?

Also been feeling panicy and weak due to it..is it just a cold?

Anxiety is pretty weird,
You can get to feel flu-like with no real illness, and it can make your real condition much worse.

Whenever I get a flu/cold I know it's not anxiety because my resting heart rate goes up due to the fever/fighting. It's really irritating, but I found the best method to fight it off is to eat some nice soup

Hope you feel better!

You sound like you have the flu, especially the sensative skin...lots of people I know are coming down with it, change of seasons, weather etc. Rest, plenty of fluid, and paracetamol every 4-6hrs xx get better soon x
