A chest cold, allergies, or something more? UPDATED
I have that type of cough that kills you in ur chest, it came out of nowhere..all day it was like someone is stabbing me in my chest..and now that dry heaving harsh cough is killing my chest..could this be allergies? or a chest cold? or something worse----maybe its cause i just started sleeping with the ac on? i feel so miserable i could cry :(
i dont even know what medicine to take b/c i dont kno what it is :(
UPDATE: So I just got back from the dr, and I have pnemonia.. "lovey" now im on tons of meds and will be out of work till monday since im "highly contagious"

Re: A chest cold, allergies, or something more?
I have had that on and off for a month now along with an itchy throat and watery eyes - I think mine is allergies. I don't take anything because I get drowsy, so I am not much help.

Re: A chest cold, allergies, or something more?
Sounds like it might be allergies. I go for shots once a week, and I'm still suffering ( and have to take meds). I'd wait a day or two and see how you feel. I'd then contact the doctor to see if it is allergy related. Sorry I'm not much of a help. Hope you feel better, hun!

Re: A chest cold, allergies, or something more?
I get allergy shots too and have never had symptoms like that. That being said, there are many different symptoms people can have. I'd give it a coupel days and then go to the doctor. Look at is this way - it's not going to hurt you to go to the doctor to be safe.

Re: A chest cold, allergies, or something more?
I just had a head cold . It started Monday Night & by Tuesday I felt horrid. Just took alot of DayQuil....I can't take NyQuil. Went away for the weekend Thrsday night and by Friday I was starting to feel better. It moved from my head to my chest so now I'm just coughing up alot of $hit
I first thought it was allergies but allergy med wasn't helping & went to the Dr on Thursday.

I don't have allergies so I can't tell if that's what it is. but your symptoms sound just like what I had 3 weeks ago - and I just now got over it, like a few days ago. it was that awful cough that just didn't want to go away

Re: A chest cold, allergies, or something more?
It's probably allergies. I have allergic asthma and thats the kind of cough I had at night.
It's probably post-nasal drip due to allergies, the AC is cold, mkaing it run down into your chest.
See a doctor. You might need some allergy meds!
Hope you feel better

Re: A chest cold, allergies, or something more? UPDATED
I saw your post earlier today, and the first thing I thought was "pneumonia," but didn't want to freak you out. Glad you found out for sure, though. DH has been out of work for 6 weeks with pneumonia (only during the last week is he finally getting his strength back), and it's been hard for him (and me :)). Be sure to get as much rest as you can, and DON'T RUSH BACK TO WORK! Better that you recover fully and don't relapse than go back to soon and pay for it later. Feel better, take it easy and get well soon!
