Possible chest infection?

Last Friday I started with a sore throat, a sure fire sign of an impending cold. Over the weekend i had a blocked nose but nothing too bad, clear mucus etc. Monday I felt much better just a bit of a runny nose.

Queue Tuesday and I woke up with a tight chest dry tickling cough and the blocked nose situation was worse than ever.

Since then everything has got progressively worse. I've been sweating, coughing, I'm out of breath and feel like I've been repeatedly hit in the face (my cheeks are slightly swollen and my teeth are on edge) The mucus (nose and when I cough) is now luminous green with blood steaks. My cough is much more productive but very painful and making me dizzy.

I've had plenty of bad colds before but this is taking the biscuit now. It's not getting any better. I've had about 4 hours sleep since Wednesday and I'm going slightly mad.

Does this sound worthy of a trip to walk in or should I ride it out?

Oh I forgot to mention (sorry tmi) that my mucus had hard lumps in it... Envy sick not jealous
