Weird virus? - insomnia, anxiety and thirst

[Pelvicpaininthebum]

Anyone else awake with an illness that won't let you sleep?

Started a week ago suddenly in the morning my heart rate went up and stayed there, was fatigued for a couple of days, poor appetite, severe anxiety I ended up taking myself to a&e as I thought it was my heart.

I'm now congested and feel like it's all just been a nasty virus. I'm still having temperature fluctuations and am incredibly thirsty especially at night.

The worst is the insomnia. I slept for 1 hour tonight then have been awake since 11:30pm. This has been a week now.

Anyone else? I'm getting worried I'll never sleep again.

Shamelessly bumping this...

I had it in Feb.
bloody annoying and pretty unpleasant.

i bought sinus cleanout stuff that my doctor recommended, that and anti histamines helped with the sinus stuff. Helped a bit with the nausea.
i basically drank constantly. I had a big kind of sippy cup with a straw that I just kept filled up with water or squash and tried to drink all the time.

Thanks @Octavia64 Did you have the anxiety and insomnia too?

@Toooldtopretend how are you feeling today?

Didn’t have insomnia, I usually have that anyway, did have the rest of the symptoms you mentioned. Last Sunday it started with hay fever like symptoms so I in fact thought it was that, Monday I realised is was a cold. Felt alright though, by Monday evening I’m pretty sure I had a fever, had chills, still felt mostly okay though tbh, (couldn’t check as was on holiday) Tuesday woke up and was absolutely fine…. Had limited taste on Thursday,
Got home Friday, absolutely fine, yesterday felt dizzy and spaced out in the evening and today I’m fine again. Also super super thirsty, I will say I felt really tired the last 3 nights.i know it’s a virus because dd, my sister and my mum all had it the same time as me. Mum still has no taste after a week.

@mindingmyown37 yours definitely sounds like covid.

Have you had anxiety?
