As soon as I got to the part where it said some doctors will just observe for awhile I decided I was going to wait a few more days to make an appt.
Probably just sore from coughing.
Being sick pisses me off.
I had a collapsed lung once, trust me you would know it if your lung was collapsed. You can feel the air bubbles escaping from your lung in your chest and the pain is excruciating. They observe it for a couple of days to see if it pumps back up on it's own, if not then they insert a chest tube to help it along.
It's probally just a symptom of whatever you caught. I have it too, I've been coughing like crazy and my nose is driving me nuts.
