Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been sick with the flu about 2 weeks. I was out of town and I went to see my doctor on Friday last week . She said I had the flu. My chest is tight. I take high blood pressure medicine. What can I do to relieve this tightness in my chest? What can I do to help move the flu out?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks like flu maybe got complicated because you are feeling the chest tight. You need to be visited by a doctor to auscultate you. Most probably you got bacterial pneumonia or bronchitis over flu. Maybe antibiotics are necessary for use.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
