I just had a baby 5 months ago also.. Usually if I lay her on my chest it will hurt as well.. I've been feeling like I do t get enough sleep for a while but my baby sleep all night and half the day so I get to sleep from 10pm to 1 pm and I still feel tired even when I wake up.. Everynight for the past 2/3 nights I have panic attacks/anxiety attacks before I go to sleep.. ??

I haven't had it checked in a few weeks last time I went to the doctor they told me I had a cyst on my liver I went for chest pains and they did an EKG blood work and chest X-ray and said everything was fine besides the cyst

Sweetie, you go back to the doctor tomorrow.  Yes, you could just have the flu and the doctor could offer you Tamiflu if they feel it would help you (normally you have to catch flu early for the drug to be fully useful).  I'd double your fluids.  Eating isn't as essential as fluid intake.  And take ibuprofen for relief of headache and body aches.  But in truth, I'd say to go get checked one more time.  and be persistant that you are BAD off and would like more info why.  Viruses can indeed be really nasty and make one feel horrible.  But I do worry about pnemonia (which you have to treat.)  Have you had your heart checked out lately?

Hi there and welcome. Well, absolutely go to the doctor.  You may have pnemonia and need antibiotics,, you may have some other type of infection or you may have a nasty virus.  But you really need a doctor to evaluate this and provide medication if you have a bacterial infection.  good luck and hope you feel better really soon.
