I have a cold at the moment but i have extreme head pains in my sinus area when swalloing and nose makes a crackly nose. I know this is proberly just my sinuses buggering up but its quite scary.(above my eyebrow is very painful when i swallow)
Today i had a feeling in chest like it was constricted and i gasped for air (ive had this a few times randomly before) and then i coughed after.
Today ive had very watery eyes. I have a cold and this is so silly to worry about it

You sound like you have sinutitus, you will need to visit the Docs for some antibiotics. You can steam to help clear your airways for now, and sniff Olbus Oil on a bit of tissue.

All pretty normal. I hate sinus problems, the headaches, pains on your head and face, pain when lowering your head, blocked nose and ears etc...
When I had a cold the tight chest feeling really scared me, but remember you can breath and it's normal for your chest to feel too tight with a cold, it just scares us more because of the anxiety and we think we can't breath right x
Sorry you've not been feeling too good lately :hugs:

hi get sinus infections as well. all the symptoms are the same. you need at least 2 courses of antibiotics and you'll be back to normal.

like i said in my last post, if its a sinus infection, you need antibiotics. i've been sick for weeks until i started antibiotics & got better. amoxicillin or doxycycline are the best 2.
