Drink lots of coffee, Katie. The caffiene helps open up the blood vessels in your lungs, which improves your oxygen flow and helps make it easier to breathe. I just got over the flu myself, it was so bad that I had to get a tonne of pillows and sleep almost sitting up, because I couldn't breathe at all lying down. That was one thing I found that helped hugely. My mom was the one who told me about it, actually, she's really big into the home-healing thing. And get some eucalyptus oil and put it on your neck and chest (or just use Vicks vaporub), since that will open up the air passages. Hope you get to feeling better!
