Flu - Help

I have had the flu for about 4 days, fever, cough, stuffy blocked nose, muscle aches, headaches, drowziness, pains behind eyes, watery eyes. Now 4 days on, my fever has gone.

Is it normal or ok, for my heart rate to be around 90bpm, and my blood pressure seems to have gone up, i can see the arteries in the side of my neck pulsing. And i have a pain on the left side of my chest.

I had the flu symptoms for almost 2 weeks.  I ran a fever for 6 days and then for about 5 more days I was exhausted.  I felt like I couldn't function.

Normal resting heart rate is anywhere from 60-100 beats per minute. I'm not sure about your blood pressure and pain in the chest.  You may want to go see your local doctor.

it is normal for your bloodpreasure to rise a little when you are sick or in pain. you probably have a bad chest cold that is causing your chest pains. make sure you get plenty of rest and alot of fluids. Mucinex works well to break up that stuff in your chest. There is not a whole lot a doctor can do for the flu besides telling you what i just said. It is also alergy (allergy) season with all the pollen in the air so that might be adding to your problem.
