Happy new year, I have the flu but can hardly breathe esp when I've been coughing, I walk around taking little breaths and it is so painful, should I go to urgencias, I don't really want to. I've taken a flu capsule and spoon of buttercup.
My best friend has just had flu over the Christmas period and she said she couldn't breathe very well. Her ribs were hurting, and across her back hurt too. I was worried she might have had pleurisy or even pneumonia (my daughter in law had pneumonia which wasn't diagnosed immediately). She has been given amoxicillin and is already a bit better. Flu is a horrible illness.
Anneasquith, I've heard that it can make you feel unwell for a couple of days, so without it I onoy feel bad for one or two days, and then I'm OK again.
Feel really atm, raring to go, although I know it's too early to get up and boogie, so am taking it easy.
