Asthma? I suppose there's nothing you can do but wait it out. Hope it doesn't last too long, whatever it is. Meanwhile, you'll have to just relax as best you can and listen to all the old Goon Show episodes. Like the one this comes from:

(I think you can find some of these on the Internet Archive?)

Oh well, at least once the lurgy has cleared, your immune system will blat it next time it intrudes. It's a temporary setback, and maybe next week or the week after you'll be back up and running. Only for you that will be literally true. Hopefully right now, your running is paying for itself in greater resilience (although apparently fitness only helps with fitness related health; the rest of one's health depends more on other things).

Just be careful not to be contaminated by the Deadly Spon Plague or the Nadger (I think it was the Nadger, but something sounds wrong about that one). Get well soon. :-)
