Sos! Does Having A Cold Make You Tighter?

it feels like I have a slight cold coming on mostly nasal congestion/running, postnasal drip, and a sore throat...could barely sleep last night due to this pesky phlegm in my throat that seems to be going down like its stuck...I've been feeling super tight all day and even warm beverages felt funny going down...anyone have any experience with this? I recently had a small fill .75cc on Monday and was feeling fine prior to this...SOS...

It is the nasty phlegm. I read on here to drink something warm to help it go down. Hope you get to feeling better. Take care of yourself.

Absolutely! 3 weeks out I had awful shoulder and gas pain during an allergy attack, to the point where I had to have all of the fluid that they put in the band during surgery removed (3cc). I now diligently take my allergy meds and use the Neti pot when there is alot of drainage. (So it doesn't reach my stomach!).

It doesnt make me tighter, but over the years I've seen enough people say so on here that its safe to assume its reasonably common.

It makes me tighter. I drink hot tea to soothe and go to liquids and mushies until it passes.
