So just before I start I have anxiety which a couple of times last year resulted in me having a panic attack. When this happens I get pins and needles in both arms, my hearing goes funny, a bit unbalanced on my feet etc and shortness of breath. Even though I’ve been fine lately and surprisingly not overly anxious despite the current situation, I suddenly didn’t feel great last night just before I went to bed and ended up having to really deep breath but I also started coughing, which I haven’t done before when having an episode.
On Tuesday morning I woke up feeling rubbish eg high temp, dizzy, sore and achey. I was absolutely fine come Wednesday morning and was ok until last night. Ended up sleeping on the couch propped up as I my breathing wasn’t right. Managed to get some sleep but I’m still coughing, hearing and balance still isn’t 100% but I’ve now noticed a change in my smell and taste. I can smell some of my cooking spices like garlic as it’s really strong but my husband smokes (does my head in) and I can usually smell smoke on him when he comes in from the back garden but I couldn’t smell it this morning. I’ve had a cup of tea and could barely taste the sugar snd even tried a couple of the kids cheese and onion crisps and could barely taste them too. Like I said I have form for panic attacks so I might just be confusing some of the symptoms, but I’m wondering if should try and get tested just to be on the safe side?
