Uh, I don't mean to sound like I'm overreacting, but it sounds like pneumonia to me.

If you are coughing up yellow gunk, that's pretty indicative of an infection. It is odd that you're not noticing a change in performance if that's the case. As for not maxing the HR, sometimes the first sign of infection is that your HR does not elevate during exercise the way it should.
I agree with Knott, it could be pneumonia.
If you're now coughing up clear stuff, that's an improvement. But you should rest until the gunk coughing up activity is resolved. If you continue to cough up yellow gunk or if it gets upgraded to green, you need to see a doc.
Maybe some of the other docs on the board can help with more info.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Ya think knotted?? Even though I feel ok? Oh man that would really SUCK!! I mean REEEEAAAAALLLYYYY suck! I dunno?? Maybe if they still hurt tomorrow I should go get the doc to listen to em and see what she thinks. It's very perplexing. I would think if it was something major I would have other symptoms??

ever hear of WALKING pneumonia? It means you have it and you're still walking around. Get thee to a doctor before it's NOT walking pneumonia anymore!!!

I agree that a doc is the right way to go on this one. I once had a lung infection - felt pretty good overall, but went from a little scratch in my throat to coughing up grey stuff in 1/2 a day! Antibiotics for 3-8 days was good. The Antibiotics messed with my tummy, which made riding hard for the week, but otherwise did the trick quite nicely.

I'm with Mimi concerning the walking pneumonia. I had it two years ago and had the crackling, with some but very little balls of yellow stuff. I felt fine other than the gross crackling and the coughing. Good luck at the doc!
