[Mummytoallgirls]

hi all
i did post lastweek after finding out i had a postive result,iv had it rough knovked out in bed since day 6 with temps,body aches,bad cough and breathless it has been really scary!im on day 12 temos have subsided but still feeling really weak and out of it,also would like to no if anyone had reflux indegestion with this as mine is so bad it's putting pressure on my chest making me more breathless so it's all confusing!im burping loads so definitely know it's acid reflux but can covid cause this?
would like to share experience and daily updates for some reassurance from this horrible virus!
thanks

Sorry to hear you've felt so poorly. Do you normally suffer with heartburn? Sorry, no Covid experience but I find I tend to get heartburn attacks with bad colds so perhaps there is a link to respiratory viruses?

How did you feel day 1-8? I think I read yesterday it peaks around day 9-11 so hopefully you're over the worst of it

I had a reflux when I had covid probably by resting too much or the pain killers or may be just a symptom of covid. It got really bad even when covid was gone and I was no longer tired. My GP prescribed omeprazole for a month and I finally got rid of it. I still get it now and then.

@Silversun83 no i never get heartburn appart from pregnancies!i do have a sensitive gut but nothing like this my stomach is so swollen and pushing up i keep coughing and burping up acid!
i feel drained like so many symtoms
@fannyFERNACKERPANN i felt like i was getting a cold days 1-6 and then it hit me hard slept away the days up untill today i also heard 9-14 are peak and i tell you i felt drugged!im still in bed today but abit more awake but i'm still really tierd achy etc vertigo and now reflux that's making me cough and feel breathless!awful this is

@Literallyfedup i wonder if it is a covid thing?i did actually say tk hubby is it from lying and eating,taking painkillers and sleeping!but i only took paractomol but i did take them every 4hours,the bloating and reflux is horrible,iv started some lanszprazole today although i hate taking medication i cnt deal with this ontop of feeling so weak and out of it,did you get dizziness and how long did it take you to feel human again?

Hi, I'm a GP. Loads of patients have had reflux with Covid. You can buy something over the counter like Nexium or contact your GP to discuss. Gaviscon will also help a bit.

This site is really good: www.yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk/

@ExpulsoCorona hi oh great!thank you for commenting,so it is a aftwe covid thing iv took a lanzsoprazole today but it's made the burning feel worse tbh..will have to try some gaviscon hope it settles as it's exhusging ontop of everything else x

I felt better on day 14th then on day 16 I started getting tired again. From day 19 - I think I progressed quite well. I also started drinking lucozade sport on day 17 which helped a lot with dizziness and tiredness.

hope i start feeling better soon and able to get out of bed and do stuff around the house and with the kids makes you feel so bad laying here,i will try some lucozade i'm so dizzy when i stand up feel like i have abit of vertigo tbh even lying down i feel it!gosh covid has gave me everything!looks like it's going to take a while for everything to settle down 😞

Sorry you’re feeling so bad, op, it’s awful but sounds like you’re coming out of the worst and will be ok 🙏

Not trying to hijack, I’m sorry, but @ExpulsoCorona any views/info on long covid? 10 months here for me

Sorry you are feeling so bad. I had it quite mildly but definitely had a weird gastro thing towards the end where I was massively bloated and windy. I felt it was impacting my chest too. It took about 4-5 days to go and I didn’t take anything other than mint tea.

Thank you for the replys means a lot,sounds like the gastro thing is common hopefully means i'm at the end of it and just have to wait it all out!it's how it effects the chest that's scary as you don't no if it's your lungs or acid reflux🤦‍♀️before i got covid i had just got over a sinus infection so iv been unwell since december now so i'm at breaking point!
will keep you posted and do a daily update x
