    I suggest you have a walk to your doctors office. If you are having trouble breathing, any other exercise is not advisable. :flowerforyou:

    When was your last doctor's visit? I'd go make another appointment if it's been a few days and tell her you're not getting any better. After a week you shouldn't be that bad still. If you had a mild cold I'd say some really light cardio such as walking but sicne you have issues breathing/getting around...Rest, humidifier in your room in you have nasal congestion and make wise food choices/avoid any foods whcih may aggravate symptoms

    If you feel truly healthy and your doctor says exertion is okay, try just walking until you are below winded. Don't get out of breath, do just enough that you can feel your heart rate come up. That's enough when you are feeling sick.
