I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?

I'm wondering if I should still get the swine flu vaccine even though I've already taken antiflu capsules as my doctor prescribed. Does taking the medicine mean I'm protected from swine flu, or is the vaccine still necessary?

I've been having a mild fever around 99F, a stuffy nose, a little cough, and feeling a bit tired. I've been taking paracetamol and cozyplus for it, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do or if this is something to worry about?

Alright, take rest and drink water adequately.

I'm really worried because I'm all alone at home and can't seem to get out of bed. I've been having a continuous fever, really bad body ache, and I just can't stop shivering. It's getting scary. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?
