Suggest Treatment For Cold And Chest Congestion
I currently have a cold and chest congestion for the last 3 day and now my resting heart rate is 154 bpm. Its a bit scary due to my normal pulse being around 70 bpm. My blood pressure is 90 over 70 which is normal for me. Does this constitute an emergency or is this increase an effect of my body fighting.

Hi,
There is a score known as CURB-65. So your score is 2. You need to consult your nearest doctor. You must be put on antibiotics after running some preliminary lab tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
