I would not recommend exercising with a chest infection. Cardiovascular strain resulting from a workout can potentially worsen your symptoms. Shortness of breath, mucus production, and dehydration can all increase with a high intensity workout. Take a few days off from your exercise regimen, and give your respiratory system the time it needs to recuperate. If the symptoms persist then you know it is time to see the doctor. Feel better!
