May need recheck: Some people with flu illnesses can improve & then worsen, sometimes due to pneumonia, which can cause shortness of breath/chest tightness (usually has fever as well) . If you have shortness of breath COVID 19 is also a consideration. You should call your doctor’s office to alert them . You will likely need a repeat lung exam & possibly a chest X-ray
