Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tightness in chest, runny nose and felling chills indicates respiratory tract infection.
You need to take a course of antibiotics containing Azithromycin. Along with it you need to take Acetaminophen when you have chills. You need to take nasal decongests like tablet containing Chlorpeniramine maleate and Phenylephrine along with.
Gradually, you would show improvement and feel better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
