Did my first run in 5 weeks last night after my exams and damn it hurt. My HR was at chilling 18bmp the entire time for what should’ve been an easy pace. I wasn’t expecting DOMs but I’ve got them.

What is the damage done after 5 weeks of no running and very limited physical activity?

Depends how well conditioned you were before 5 week break. What you describe is red flags of incoming virus/bug though.

I had raised hr for lower effort then excessive DOMs after Bowstones then within two days I had chesty lurgy which I'm only just getting over.

I hope it isn't that in your case.

I was doing about 50-60km per week before.

Urm I’ve not heard of Bowstones but it sounds tougher than my little jog last night that’s making me hobble today.
