Hi all a couple of weeks ago i asked if had flu ended up on anti biotics co amoxacil which i finished on mon as had chest infection. Still feeling like poo i now have pain in back of my neck i can touch my chin to my chest but with a little difficulty keep getting headaches its almost a fuzzy feeling in my head and when bend over my eyes feel like they are going to pop out with the pressure sounds funny i know!! Also so tired my eyes are really puffy but getting good 9 hours sleep but feels like four! Is this just the after effects or do i need to go back to docs hate feeling like this been 3 weeks and normally so fit and healthy!!! Thanks all from a fed up numnut!! xx

i'd go back to the docs. better to get it checked out again

i got the flu in august 2006, was left with a hellish cough where i couldn't string a sentence together without coughing. couldn't breath and felt terrible. i waited a month to see if it would go away and it didn't so went to the docs. they didn't believe me. it took months and lots of appointments till one doctor done tests, but by that time my face was swelling up with infections, i was getting loads of random things wrong with me. then it turned out i had a chest infection, then bronchitis.

i'm now living in a different area and still going for tests now and it looks like i've had whooping cough. but its gone un-diagnosed for nearly 3 years. but its taken my new doctor just a couple of months to find that out where my last doctors it was 2 years

so i would definately go to your docs and ask for tests.

I went down with the flu on Boxing Day, then it turned into a chest infection - altogether it took me 5 weeks to get better, but even after antibiotics, I still had that annoying tickly cough.

Perhaps now the weather is getting better, it will perk you up.

Wish you better.

Have you tried something for your sinuses like Sinutab to see if that helps at all?

I get migraines and find that migraleve that I take for them can help when I have pressure in my head after a cold or similar.
