Chest Infection? Posted: 12-01-06 12:30pm


Hey folks, over the last few hours i've developed a really strange feeling in my lungs. My chest is tight and i'm breathless. I have asthma, but this doesn't feel like an asthma attack. I decided to take my inhaler just in case but I took it 3 times in an hour and it didn't do anything. I have a slight sore throat, a small headache and I keep getting slight pain all over my chest and it's now going to my back too. I also have a stiff, sore neck. I also have mucus in my throat. I don't have a temperature as far as I can tell, but i've never been good at figuring out whether or not I have one (i use my hand on my forehead, not a thermometre... Guess I should buy one) is this a chest infection?

i think with a chest infection you would be experiencing alot of coughing as well, when i was told by my dr i had a chest infection my oxygen levels were low so he gave me an inhalor cuz i was wheezing and i was like coughing nonstop it was driving me insane. id get it checked out by a dr
