I went to bed last night with an extremely tight chest and wheezing. I haven't had a cold, and don't have asthma, so I just assumed I was getting sick.
Woke up with a very tight cough and still very tight chest. I called the nurse triage but it takes them FOREVER to call back. I had costochondritis (viral infection trapped in sternum from a cough) last year about this time and it just went away about a month ago- really want to nip this in the bud before it gets any worse! Anyone had something similar? Anything I can take? I'm on my way to get a humidifier, but I don't know what else could give some relief.
I have never had that type of infection, but I have been very sick before when pregnant. I found warm showers helped, and hot water with a little bit of lemon and honey helped sooth my throat. I hope you feel better!
Trying to find a replacement for my old caffeine habit?
