Thank you ladies
Menomale, heaviness and tightness started in late Nov, early Dec, through my chest and into my back. It's not pain, just feels as if I'm being compressed. It was very uncomfortable over the Christmas period, I was exhausted and it definitely restricted me physically, we were away and I couldn't do the long haul walking I usually do. I don't tend to develop colds etc: the glands under my arms swell which is a usual sign that I'm fighting whatever is ravaging those around me. Glands were up and down throughout Dec.
Whilst not as bad now, it's still a constant, some days worse than others. I was convinced it was my lungs but my asthma inhaler, which I rarely have to use but always works instantly, just hasn't done anything. I'm not sure whether I've had an asthma flare or whether I have a low lying lung infection. I'll speak to GP next week, she's back in on Monday.
Machair, I feel sorry for your boy, mine too suffers with the dreaded migs and has had a run of them recently. It doesn't help that he has a hugely stressful career and a massively social life too, he never takes time out to chill!
Love to you all x
