I'm really concerned right now because I've been experiencing this tightness in my chest, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. It's making it really difficult for me to sleep. My dad gave me a pantop tablet yesterday, and now my throat feels clear, and my chest is okayish, but there's still this uneasy feeling in my chest with a very slight pain. Last month, I dealt with a cold and cough with white phlegm for about 20 days, but that's gone now. With everything going on with COVID-19, I'm scared to visit a hospital.
