A member asked:

Deep tightness in chest an throat losing voice off an on. an nasal an neck swelling an headache. is this part of the cold virus going around?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: If you have a fever, cough or shortness of breath as well I would suggest seeing a doctor for a flu test (even if you had the vaccine this year). We're starting to see a good bit of influenza now and since you have underlying lung problems, you should be checked sooner rather than later!
