What Causes Hot Feeling Over The Chest?

hi i have been feeling really weak recently and even collapsed a couple of times (without fainting/just fallig). Recently after I got a really bad cold/cough. I rarely ever get sick, this is the first time i can actually say i have a bad cold. What worries me most is that my chest (over my heart) feels really hot.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI - pneumonia) is more.
LRTI is common after uncontrolled common cold.
And your worsening cough, weakness, Giddiness, burning and hot feeling over chest etc are seen in pneumonia.
So better to get done chest x ray first.
If this is suggestive of pneumonia than you need antibiotics and other supportive drugs.
So consult doctor and first rule out pneumonia.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
