Head Cold Now In Chest...what Gives?
Posted: 12-14-05 11:51am

Hello,

over the weekend I had a head cold that was fairly mild. The only symptoms I had were headache, fatigue, and post-nasal drip. I first thought it was allergies but after a few days the symptoms waned considerably.

Yesterday I thought I was almost out of the woods but late last night I began to feel very slight chest congestion. This morning it wasn't really any worse, but I still have a slight headache and a little bit of fatigue.

My guess is my headcold left me susceptable to a bacterial infection, and now i've got bronchitis. Could this be the case? My congestion hasn't worsened thusfar, so i'm puzzled.

Any thoughts are welcomed!
