My Lungs Part 6

[TheDrsWife46]

New thread here let me see if i can link back and forth...

@EMichel102 I wonder if you should call 111 to ask about your heartbeat
Do you have a high temperature as well?
My pulse has been high at times (100 at rest) but is back down now, no palpitations though

The same as me. Hopefully this thing will start to shift soon. Every time I have the squits I try and think of it as a bit more of the virus leaving my body. Hope you have a restful night x

Bad night here too. Chest pain (higher up now as well?!), sore throat, racing heart, restless legs - and those bastard morbid thoughts.

I've come downstairs and given up on sleep for now.

Sorry to hear a few of you are having a bad night too

@Taffyapple8 thanks I really hope you can sleep well too

@simplekindoflife could it be reflux perhaps? If you have a sore throat as well?

@simplekindoflife I thought possibly reflux too, some were saying gaviscon helped if you have anything like that or even baking soda

Tried some gaviscon but it hasn't had any effect. It feels like heavy pressure right in the middle of my chest. I 'normally' have burning stabby pains at the bottom of my lungs.

Every day is a new and different symptom?!

@Calyx72 heartbeat isn’t high just pronounced. Low 60’s high 50’s lying down.

@simplekindoflife what do you mean by restless legs? Might be similar to how I’m feeling too.

That's a shame gaviscon didn't help. Yes it's a weird illness, viruses do seem to be weird generally don't they. Hope it's away soon

@simplekindoflife do you have any sparkling water? I find that stuff is amazing at bringing up burps caused by indigestion. I have that and it feels like a pressure and tightness in the upper chest and is usually relieved quite quickly with sparkling water. Pre covid, I suffer from acid reflux and indigestion so it's all too familiar.

@EMichel102 jumpy, twitchy... going hot and cold now, oh joy!

@simplekindoflife yup same here. But also other parts of body are jumpy twitchy too - not just legs. Also hot and cold. What day are you on? I can’t believe I’m experiencing this again so late into the virus!

@AnythingPecan I thought it’s recommended not to drink sparkling water if you have reflux / heartburn as it’ll make it worse? Maybe not!

Day 29 going into 30

The last few days (not nights) have been good, I’ve felt a lot better and been able to go for walks and generally felt okay

The nights have been hit and miss, the symptoms always seem to be so much worse at night. Sleep is extremely difficult as whenever I start to drift off my body wakes me up in a panic (assume because I am not getting enough O2 when I breathe more shallowly at night)

Tonight has brought a new symptom in the form of a headache which I haven’t had till now. Whilst painful and annoying at least it takes the focus away from my chest and breathing which is my main concern

@EMichel102 yes that's the general advice. But I find drinking naturally carbonated water in small quantities helps. There is some evidence to suggest it helps with digestion but the majority advise against it.
Very different to drinking a can of coke which would completely destroy me.

Oooooohhhhh the diarrhoea 
I think I have given myself piles
TMI but the water is almost greenish
I am sure someone else mentioned that

Hi @Joeaj23 sorry you're having awful nights, fingers crossed they get better soon and you're healed

@taffyapple8 I used your visualisation of the virus leaving my body into the toilet and it made me laugh
If my DP heard it he probably thinks I have lost the plot

@EMichel102 I've been working back to when I felt properly ill which puts me at around day 11 or 12, but it could be longer as I think I had a few minor symptoms almost a week before that. (Very slight back ache, a bit tired, headachey, not sure that counts...) It's hard to pinpoint it. So at least day 11/12 but possibly day 18.

another one awake here.Slept from 9.30 till 12.30 and now awake. Racy heartbeat like @emichel02 and @simplekindoflife

@Calyx72 have you called 111 about your temperature as it’s a long time for it to be so high.

I had terrible trembles I thought it was anxiety that caused mine. Thankfully they have stopped now it will get better. You can fight this but I will stress if you are really worried call 111.

@user34254356 it's horrible isn't it. I'm really tired but I can't face going back to bed yet and laying there suffering.

I am also feeling very hot tonight. Not sure if it's a hot night or another one of the symptoms.

@simplekindoflife yes lying in bed alone with my thoughts makes me more anxious.

@Calyx72 from that it really does sound like you need to drink a lot more. Re taste returning, all about the little victories!

Unable to sleep at all. Keep thinking I won't wake up.

@user34254356 @simplekindoflife my body also feels like a furnace tonight. Still tremors.
