What Causes Heaviness While Breathing And Pressure On Forehead While Coughing?

HI I just want to know if I m just sick or if there s something more that I should know that s important? I have hardly any energy, my head hurts constantly even when I cough I feel pressure on my forehead and when i breath it feels a little heavy and it hurts just a little tiny bit at times, not all the times.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your are having frontal sinusitis associated with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI)
Both of these are causex by infection with bacteria.
Headache in forehead with coughing and heaviness in head is seen in frontal sinusitis.
Cough with heaviness in chest is seen in LRTI.
So start following treatment.
1. Broad spectrum antibiotic like fluoroquinolones
2. Anti histamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
3. Drink plenty of liquids.
If not improve in 5 days than consult ENT doctor.
