Hi,
So for about 10 days now I've been coughing, snotting and feeling generally crap. I know this lingering cold thing is going around but no one seems to have it as bad? I'm very mucusy and phlegmy.
My health anxiety is starting to kick in today, as I've had some slight aching feels on the right of my chest, like a deep dull ache (so I'm presuming it's my lungs now obviously). Is breathing a problem when we get colds? Feel like I have to breathe through my mouth and my breaths feel deeper than usual. Also last night noticed my left eye is a bit puffy /swollen, which I'm now panicking over. Is it normal to have puffy eyes with a cold? I'm worried overall about leukemia at the mo, so to me this is signifying that my immune system isn't working. I am never usually unwell, infact I usually brag about the fact that I never get these winter bugs. But this one has knocked me for six. A few people I know have had it but seem to have gotten rid, or its still hanging on but very mild symptoms for them.
Anyone else got this at the moment?
