Hi guys, I hope everyone is well.
I've been feeling really crappy since last week Tuesday. It all started when I came home from school feeling out of it(tired, weak, etc.)
The next morning I woke up with a sore throat that literally felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife. I also had a fever, headache, sore body, classic flu symptoms.
Anyways flash forward to Sunday, I was feeling a bit better over the days between Tue and Sat but Sunday I took a turn for the worse. The fever returned, I had a really bad cough, a feeling like I've got a ton of mucus/phlegm stuck in my nose, throat, and chest. My sinuses were literally SCREAMING!
Since Monday I've been feeling worse meaning I get so breathless when walking down the hall at school, climbing the stairs and my chest and back feels very tight. All I want to do is lay down. Luckily I haven't lost my appetite at all and I'm making sure I eat all meals regularly.
I'm also eating Orange, banana, Apples, orange juice and loads of fluids in between with my meals. I'm beyond terrified of meds so all I took since the whole week being sick was two Advil (One on Wednesday and one on Sunday when I had a bad headache).
Ii'm also getting a lot of chest pain which I can't seem to tell where its coming from. It's worse when I'm walkingbut apparetly not there when I exercise. I was exercising the other day and had no pains but walking down the hall at school is making me have pains and the pains are making me panic which sets int eh overbreathing and palps. :weep::mad:
Every time I cough, I feel my chest and back hurting and burning at the same time( make sense?) and I'm just so terrified to go the the doc. Also the tight chest/back is still here along with the chest pains when I walk as well as the breathlessness. Every time I cough also its like I can feel the phlegm stuck in my chest its just getting it to come out is the problem. My ribs are also very sore which doesn't help either.
I had a huge fear of getting viruses when I saw that Brittany Murphy dies of pneumonia two years ago and I'm scared that whatever I have right now will make the same thing happen to me.
I feel so crappy that I can't even stand too long to take a shower(2-5 min max).
Has anyone ever had it so bad before? I spoke to some really nice people in chat who say that it sounds like a chest infection or possibly bronchitis since I no longer have a a fever.
I really appreciate any responses. Thanks so much.
