guys it’s my first week and uni and i have a bad sore throat and stuffed nose. a big anxiety thing for me is the shortness of breath and tight/lump in throat feeling and that’s what this cold is making me feel like i can’t breathe. i’m afraid it’ll settle in my chest or my airways will cut off pls help me i’m freaking out. it’s 3am and i woke up choking because i think mucus was moving down my throat (my nose was rly stuffed when i fell asleep but less now) and i can’t cough loud because my roommate is sleeping and i felt like my whole throat and nose was closing and it was terrible. i took vitamins and gargled with salt water and drank tons and tons of water and fresh pressed juice today what other things can i do to help this. please i’m so scared i start class next week and i’m scared this cold will make me stop breathing
