Whats Wrong? :(

I am feeling really ill today and there isnt anyone around who i can go to advice for - dont wanna worry ppl if i dont need to

basically i have had a constant (really constant) dry cough for 3 days, and this afternoon i started feeling really breathless and dizzy with it, within the past 2 hours I have been coughin up stuff, a fair ammount of it, and been getting kinda sharp chest pains in the middle of my chest.

i feel physically sick and i can sleep and i'm achey all over

do u guys reckon its just or flu or something do u reckon its somethin i need to worry about now??

any help would be be much appreciated, even just reassurance

thanks guys x

Cold/Flu, it's nothing, take lots of medicine and rest.

I'm like this too at the moment!:frown: Though I haven't been near any migratory birds:p: and I'm putting it down to the chest infection that I have and am taking antibiotics for at the moment. But I am worried about the aches and chest pains.:frown:

I've got exactly the same thing! Its just something thats going around, I think. It's horrible though. A minute ago I was almost sick.

I can't sleep either as I keep choking and coughing the whole time that like Little Girl Red, I'm almost sick. And I'm quite weak and knackered physically. It's awful.:frown: Poor Hester and Little Girl Red too :hugs:

Sounds like cold/flu to me, the chest pains and coughing up stuff is probablly a chest infection you got from the flu.
it will most likely go down by the end of the week try not to worry about it to much or it will make you feel worse.

Try taking some cough medicine or something like that
