Woke up this morning with this love bit looking thing on my chest. Definitely not a love bite? Any ideas?
I'd rather not Google Grin

Could it be a pinch from carrying something large, awkward or heavy over the weekend?

Probablyinpain · 18/10/2021 16:15

No.. I've not done any heavy lifting. Spent most of it resting. I've a beautiful cough and cold at the moment.

Burst blood vessels from coughing?

Well this is a possibility! I didn't even know that was a thing. Thanks.
I suffer with health anxiety and obviously catastrophising about sepsis or meningitis 😬 yes I know how silly I sound.

Well- it’s just a guess I’m not a doctor. You can check for meningitis by running a glass over the blotchy bit, if it fades it’s fine. If you have temperature then ring 111. Hopefully it’s gone now. Flowers

No the blotchy bit doesn't fade which is why I was worried but it's only in that one small area and not spreading. Temp is normal. Maybe I scratched myself or something who knows. Surely if it was anything major I'd be unable to function properly.
