I slowly got more heavier breathing over the course of a few weeks, up untill 14 days ago when I deceloped cellulitis. I went to the doctor for that, ans they sent me home and told me to see a specialist the next day. That night the hard breathing got worse, as i felt I choked on something, and then could not breathe. Went to the ER and they gave me IV antiobiotics, ran tons of tests, etc. Treated me for cellulitis and pneumonia. The cellulitis went away, and seemingly the breathing issue did to, but it got worse again. Flu in the area? Not to my knowledge. Don't have a fever, either. Though did get sweaty, that is pretty normal for me. But feeling very congested and winded. Runny nose? Yeah, a little bit, but the kind that you can't really blow into a Kleenex, but can only let slowly drip from your super enflamed and congested nasal passage haha. Headache? Yes this morning. Girlfriend isn't sick, but she got the flu shot.
