I can't breathe
You know how it feels when you get punched in the gut and the wind knocked out of you? The gasping for air, barely pulling any in, the way your heart pounds? Yeah, well, I keep getting that feeling. I have this persistent cough that's been doing that to me for the past 9 days. Everytime I cough, it seems to force all the air out of my lungs, and I gasp for air, cough some more, gasp some more, dry heave, gasp, cough... and well, you get the picture. It really sucks.
