I've had a cold since Monday, fever and cough so have done an LFT and PCR - both negative.
The thing is, I've never had a cold where I feel this chesty before - I've never had any kind of chest infection, so I'm a feeling a bit worried as I feel like I can't get enough air - not so bad I need urgent attention, but I keep feeling lightheaded. I managed to walk my dog earlier (slower than usual) but going upstairs makes my heart pound.
Could this just be due to whatever virus Ive got, ie standard viral bronchitis? I don't want to bother the docs if I'm just being a wuss and antibiotics wouldn't work anyway. Everyone keeps saying there's nasty non-covid bugs going around. I'm not used to this, unlike others I know who get chest infections every winter.
Thanks for reading my mithering
