Personally Rowan, I think you should zip in a spine and dry your eyes princess ;-)
It sounds to me like you're either in Love (or PLS as it's known in the trade), or a having a Tension Pneumothorax. If it's the TP then take a couple of paracetamol and stay well hydrated. Then go see your GP if you get the chance.
If it's Pukey Love Syndrome (PLS) then you'll need a series of treatments. First is the infusion of quantities of protein. This is best done via a meat syringe. You will also need to share body warmth with another human, and this is best done naked under a quilt. Finally, and most importantly, you're gonna need a lot of exposure to the source of infection to control any further outbreaks of PLS.
Hope this helps
