I started 11 days ago with what my GP suspected was Aussie Flu. Just woke up one morning & couldn't get out of bed, my entire body felt broken. I was shivering one min, boiling hot the next, in & out of sleep, absolutely felt rubbish. Dr came out the next day & asked if I'd had flu before & I said 'I don't ever remember felling this bad!' She mentioned if I've heard about Aussie Flu on the news & it'll take about week until I felt better.
Anyway about 5 days later I still didn't feel great but I could get up & move, my throat was raging sore though.
Went back to work in the 12th. Still not feeling 100% but a lot better than what I was. Then Wed night I began to get the body aches again, shivering. I've never taken so many tablets before as I have over the last two weeks! (I already take meds for my headaches!)
Then last night I very very peculiar- I'd taken 2 beechams tablets & it felt like my chest was being crushed - I've never felt that before, it was very weird feeling, I very very poorly. I couldn't put my finger on it. Eventually after about 40 mins it wore off.
The same thing happened today - still not feeling great, the aches & pains - the feeling your body is a pin cushion, I took 2 beechams & within minutes, that peculiar feeling happened, like my chest was being crushed, I had to go & lie down. Again it was a good 40 mins until it passed.
My resting heart beat is usually quite high anything from 95-100 - it's been investigated & it appears it's normal for me - when I tested it (ok its on an app on my phone so who knows how accurate these things are) after taking the beechams - it had dropped to 80, it's never been that low.
i wonder if it's worth making an appt with my gp, but at the moment I just feel like I've no energy, my body seems to just be constantly aching, my heads full of cold now. FFS, I just want to feel better!!
