My lungs feel like they are on fire. Anyone else

[angell84]

I was on here last week saying it was all an over reaction. I am one who usually tries not to panic. And that is what I was thinking. It is not good to panic people. I also thought that it was blown up in the media. Well. Now I am sick myself. So I have learned - it is actually happening. I am scared

I have been ill for three days, chest pains, - heavy breathing. And what is very scary to me - my lungs feel like they are on fire. It is a feeling that I have never felt before. I am really scared. Where I am - I am being told to self isolate. If it gets more serious - I will go in somewhere.

But I am really scared. Does anyone else feel like their lungs are on fire? Is anone else sick

@hollieberrie I also had one cold and shivery night and I'm still getting flashes of nausea.

Lets all give each other online support on here. It is a great thing. Hope you all feel better soon

... My eyes hurt? Almost as if I've been staring at the sun?

@arthurmorgan my eyes hurt too. They feel kind of dry

Yup. Chest fire is a very good description.

@ChippityDoDa

Very interesting. Did he mention his lungs burning or just the tightness? I hope you're all doing well!

I am literally shaking out of control reading this could have written half the posts by myself

angell84 I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. You know you shouldn't be blaming yourself though, right? That's totally on him. It wasn't your fault. .

Have you got any RL support?

Love and hugs to all who are unwell. I hopeyou are all soon well again.

@pinkoneblueone what are you feeling?

On another note, my mum believes this is all a hoax. I thought you could all use a laugh... Or cry.. 😬 😂

@angell84 I'm so sorry

@fishandsnails How are you feeling now? I feel worse in the evenings. Also felt a bit faint earlier but it faded. My chest is so heavy.
I reeeeally thought it was pregnancy!! (note I have never been pregnant)

I've had a tight chest for 5 days now - it feels like pressure between my ribs and is sore if I breathe deeply. Also had a mild sore throat. Could this be it? I never get chest pain and this is unusual for me. No temperature though...
Of course it could be something else or hay fever? I won't take any chances and risk passing it on...

Angel, that’s terrible. Please rest and be kind to yourself. You have nothing to blame yourself for. He should be in prison. but I know how hard it is to go to the police, especially when there’s so little chance they will take him to court.

Let’s hope karma catches up with him. No, damn it, I hope his bloody prick falls off.

More importantly, i hope you recover well, both from the virus and from the rape.

2 days before Xmas I was ill. I had a terrible hacking dry cough, headache, high temperature and I felt totally exhausted. This went on and on and I have chronic asthma so breathing in and out started to hurt. In mid January I was still no better so went to see GP. Inhad pneumonia and was given antibiotics to clear it up. I finally got rid of it and started to feel better 2nd week of February. There were daysxwhen my lungsxwere burning and I lost my voice too. I keep wondering now if I could hafe had this Covid19 virus. I have never been to China and did not know anyone else who had been. I know it was supposed to be in Wuhan in December. Now I am hoping I am immune but dh says it could jit have been Covid as too early for UK.

oh yes I had nausea too on Friday- that was the first symptom I had.

Angel hope you are getting some support x

@HollyHocks13 I think it could be it. It's so wierd that there are so many of us with tight chests yet it's not one of the symptoms we are told about. I genuinely thought it was anxiety or maybe indigestion. The ache goes right through to my back.

I hope everyone feels a bit better tomorrow.

I don't know how true this is, but some - one told me that, if we do have it, the first three to four days are the worst, then it should get better. That most of us should recover.

Talking on here to other people going through the same thing is so helpful and calming

Yes it aches through to my back too. My whole torso feels solid and heavy somehow.

It really is. Thank you OP for starting this, I hope you feel better soon.

I found Sudofed helped me to breathe, if you could try that.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you Angel.

I have all these symptoms too, I'm convinced I've got corona. I think I picked it up at a hospital visiting a relative. Someone died the following day there of corona.

I am really shocked by this thread it describes exactly how I am feeling, no temperature or sore throat but burning in the chest, I don't suffer with heartburn but bought antacids today.

My sister lives 500 miles away and has described something similar.
