What’s wrong with me? Am I unwell?

[Helllppppp]

This is a really strange one.

My sinuses are a little blocked but it’s not causing me much discomfort. When I lean over to pick something up for instance, I feel a bit of pressure in my head but nothing major.

My biggest issue is that I’m absolutely freezing. I’ve had the heating on 24 degrees and I’m still getting a bit shivery and my extremities are still cold.

Other than that, I’m pretty tired. It’s just weird because I don’t feel unwell as such. I just can’t bear how cold I am.

Any ideas?

I am a naturally warm person but always feel freezing when I am getting ill. It’s pretty much the only time I feel cold.

I’d suspect you are about to be unwell. I get this firstz

Check your temperature. I feel cold when I have a temperature. Paracetamol and ibuprofen bring down temperature.

I would guess you are fighting off a virus in your sinuses. They feel inflamed because that's how your body is trying to stop it entering further into your body. The fever (shivery despite full heating) is more of the same.

Paracetamol, whisky and bed should do the trick. Of course that's unlikely so just paracetamol and sofa is OK too.

Oh no... sounds like I’m heading for a rough few days then. I’ve not checked my temperature so will do that. I basically get this horrible chill through me about once a minute which makes me feel even colder 😩 I’ve got so much to do so getting sick is really not an option just now.

Paracetamol will help the fever for a bit, Sudafed (pseudoephidrine & ibuprofen) will ease the sinuses. You can take them together and then you'll feel a bit fitter to do what you have to do.

A good night's sleep will help the most though.

I managed a little nap earlier and will do my best to get an early night. I’ve bought some Sudafed and stocked up on paracetamol so hopefully it won’t develop into a full blown illness. Thanks all.

Hope you feel better soon OP

Tomorrow is day 14 of feeling crap. Spent 4 days in bed, didn't even think of washing for 5 days. I can actually get dressed now, but still not properly eating , drinking things that have no taste at all, and everything I do is taking great effort.
Take care and be kind to yourself.

You've almost certainly got a fever, hence the chills. Could be a nasty virus or flu. There's a nasty virus with fever doing the rounds.

Could be low iron or lack of sleep.
