Chest wall viral infection

I woke up today and I couldn't breathe in without being in severe pain. My husband said that I was making noises while sleeping.

I ended up calling the doctors to get an appointment to see someone about the pain. I am very lucky that I can leave my daughter with any of the mums at school, if I need to leave her earlier than normal. Then one of the other mums gave me a lift in her car to the doctors.

After lots of tests including an ECG the doctor said that I had a viral infection on my chest well. She did give me a name but I can't for the life of me remember. There is nothing to do but take painkillers. The doctor did say that it could last 6-12 weeks.

Fell asleep and woke up in so much pain but think my body needed the sleep. Only thing about being ill with this is that going up and down stairs hurts and I can't do any house work. I have been told to rest up.
