I hate to be an alarmist BUT after two bouts with blood clots in my lungs in 2016, that being the exact same symptom! I had no history of blood clots, it just came out of the blue!

You two are sweet. Thank you! I can't breathe because my nose is runny one second and stuffy the next and then one nostril will be one way and the other the other way. Nothing alarming there.

With the exception of a hard hitting cold, I'm fine. It's not bronchitis. Or the flu. I spent most of my childhood in the hospital with a majority of lung related illnesses and almost died from whooping cough. Vomited up over a third of my blood supply. That was not fun. Not fun at all. Neither was being held down on cold gurneys, being stripped down and having ice water soaked towels thrown on me. Again, that was soooo not fun.

This just surprised me and it's my own fault. I eat some 'miracle foods' every single day, get some sort of exercise most days but the thing that weakens my immune system more than anything else is lack of sleep and I shorted myself sleep for about 4 days in a row. I knew it would backfire on me. I just didn't expect it to hit so hard but there's all kinds of stuff going around up here so it's inevitable that I'd catch something if I let my guard down.

No worries! I've got cold meds, ibuprofen and Emergen-C, a new humidifier and the day off tomorrow. I plan on sleeping late, doing some crafting and taking it easy. I'll be right as rain soon enough. Thank you for your concern.
