About 3 weeks ago I started feeling a little wobbly. The day after I had a cold which went in about 5 days.
I was left with a sore throat for about a week after that which turned into another cold. Got rid of that yesterday and woke up with a painful heavy chest this morning.
Nothing too bad just lower throat felt dry and had a bit of a cough which hurt.
By this evening I quickly deteriorated. Chest was so heavy and painful, burning pains in lungs, wheezing, shortness of breath, temperature, severe aches and pains, headache, very tired and weak, very itchy throat on the outside.
I went to the out of hours who checked everything and said I had an ear infection in both ears and a chest infection. He gave me antibiotics but the pharmacy only opens tomorrow.
Three young people in their 20's and 30's died last week from swine flu in a local hospital. I'm so worried that I have it.
I haven't been so ill like this for years so maybe I've forgot how bad it is??? Either way I'm scared of going to sleep incase I don't wake up. I sort of feel like I'm being thrown backwards whenever I close my eyes.
I also have Fibromyalgia so keep thinking if I do have swine flu that I'm one of the high risk people with a low immune system.
Please help :(
