First and foremost...don't worry. It is not COVID-19 for that length of time.
I would agree with what is mentioned above, having suffered with various degrees of anxiety (being uncomfortable to full on passing out, panic attacks and going to hospital) it sounds like some of your symptoms could be due to that (especially since it sounds like you have be very much checked out already by doctors).
Checking your blood pressure every few moments will not help...I used to do exactly the same thing with my pulse rate and it causes more issues than anything.
I also don't think it is being downplayed in any way, quite the opposite in fact - especially by the media and the slant that gets put on any news. Realistically what do you want people to do...panic? start screaming in the street?
I really hope you're correct, it's just that with all these random consecutive symptoms, I got quite scared, and me being immunocompromised makes me an easy target, as well as a danger for my parents in their late 60's with pre-existing conditions, if it turns out I have it in the end, though am feeling more reassured now.
Yes, I will definitely look into it, thanks you
I do it three times a day as recommended by the doctor, my bad for not elaborating.
You are right, I meant around here where I live, and mostly the general population and those close to me, not really the media. Again, sorry for not elaborating further.
First off, I'm very sorry this is happening to you. Also, this very much reads like someone is sitting in his room having all the time in the world to worry himself to pieces. Finding ways to relax always greatly helps me combat illnesses and panicking will probably not help you at all.
That being said, I ain't no doctor and It's probably good your taking this seriously. But you've already been to the doc and he told you to take these strong meds for a week and check back then. So just asking carefully…
Is staying home, drinking tea, not taking daily checkups on your blood pressure, drinking more tea, drinking more tea, drinking more tea, sleeping, drinking more tea, taking your meds and checking back in a week like the doc told you not an option?
I'm dont want to be downplaying anything here but coughs can be tricky business, I've had one for more than a month in January. And the mind is pretty good at overdriving your body. You already are on stron antibiotics and they'll do some heavy lifting but you gotta rest too...
All this being said, I'm just offering some advice, but at the end of the day, I'm just some dude who ain't not doctor.
Thank you for your sensibility. Yes, i concur. I listen to a lot of music and audio books while I write, and I do light exercising too. That's what I've been doing to occupy my mind lately, It does help greatly.
Absolutely, that's what I'm adhering to. I drink lots of water and natural orange juice, I take my meds in time and I sleep about 10 hours every day, no exceptions, and take naps throughout the day. And the daily blood pressure checking was the doctor's order, to check it daily three times a day I should have included that in my post. And I'm going back to the doctor this Sunday, but this morning I got really annoyed at the lack of improvement and I felt very vulnerable, I couldn't help it.
Yeah, the timing sure doesn't help. I will continue to rest, thank you.
I appreciate any kind of advice, and I'm more calm now, thanks to you and all the nice people who replied to my post. Thanks all.
