12 h, apr 7, 2020 y - Gentle Improvement

Description:

Took two advil yesterday afternoon, began feeling better around bedtime. Woke on Tuesday with tickle in throat/chest, but did not need to cough. Chest pain still there but much better. Took flonase & inhaler ~6am, applied heating pad to chest intermittently throughout morning, inhaler again ~11am, five x round stairs at 11:30am, final lap at jog, able to catch breath. (Then laid down with hot compress for chest.) Can take deep breaths again. Note: unclear whether any improvement is due to reduction in muscle pain due to reduction in exercise, reduction in allergens due to reduction in exercise, or anti-inflammatory drugs. Empirical evidence says that 2 full days of rest necessary to recover from coughing fit. Also, constipation and leaning forward also trigger chest muscle contraction aches.
