It's come to that time of year, where we all get the spontaneous outburst of the much hated cold. It leaves you in the shittiest of moods, and with the drive to do barely anything. It's something that we try to avoid and get rid of through the use of Beechams, Lemsip, Halls, you name it, I bet that we've tried it. A cold makes the sinuses so erratic, one moment they're the blocked, and the next they're fine and you led into thinking that you're cured. A bad cold affects your sleep during the night, meaning that you can't be as focused on things as you would like to be during the day.
Having a cold seems admirable in comparison to a chest infection. First of all, you already I suppose have the cold, or at least the symptoms of it, with the blocked sinuses and the never ending runny nose, which means you end up spending more on toilet rolls than you do throughout the rest of the bloody year.With the blocked sinuses, comes the headaches: I myself have pressure right on the top of my head (it's not pleasant!), and finally, the constant sensation of wanting to 'pop your ears.' The ear thing is maybe one of the most annoying, because it limits your hearing. It doesn't sound very pleasant when you're at work and are constantly pardoning the customers because you genuinely cannot hear what they are saying. I'm pretty sure that the ear popping thing has also led to myself being more imbalanced and more prone to falling over, but then again I'm a clumsy sod anyway ha!
...... And so, after all of the horrible icky cold stuff, a cough develops, sometimes it may be a tickle cough, and at other times a far more dry cough. I think that mine is more of a dry one, it sounds a little like a smokers cough, but I don't smoke! The coughing fits are not pleasant by any means, they often leave you gasping for breath and give you a choking sensation: NOT NICE.
So here I am, sat in my Pj's with dressing gown on and extra socks: heating on, and still absolutely fucking freezing. Two days off work and I'm actually genuinely missing the place, (yes, I do quite like my job:)), and all because of a stupid chest infection.
A chest infection is the worst
