Haven’t slept in 2 weeks
Maybe a long rant.
So two weeks ago I got covid while 16 weeks pregnant. I had bad headache and blocked nose. Headache lasted 2 days but my nose remained the same. Which made me not able to breathe properly and being pregnant I got scared more which resulted in not breathing properly. I thought something was wrong with my lungs and was afraid baby wouldn’t get any oxygen. I did go for a check up at a covid facility here where I live. Didn’t get a scan though.
My lungs were fine. Got a syrup for my throat which I thought it helped but I had it right before sleeping and caused to have a bit of phlegm. Went again to the facility coz I really couldn’t breathe one day and when I went out I felt better with fresh air. My lungs and breathing were fine was just my blocked nose causing it. Doctor gave me antibiotic and allergy pills to take for a few days.
I should add I hadn’t slept at all since two weeks ago. I was scared i would suffocate. Slept Maybe 3-4 hours from 12am to 12pm (slept sitting on bed or laying in a way my head was straight up) I was awake all night roaming around my small apartment, drinking water and going to the bathroom. On Monday night my nose cleared and I could finally sleep laying flat in bed. Didn’t sleep enough.
From Tuesday night I started having really bad acid reflux, can hardly swallow my saliva and again can’t sleep through the night or morning.
I’m here typing at 8.30 am, haven’t slept all night, i don’t know how to sleep.
I had an appointment for Monday but I called and changed to today afternoon to see as soon as possible. My 10 days isolation is over.
I’m tired and exhausted. My body is tired, my mind is tired. I need my sleep. I can hardly walk. I can hardly swallow. My throat is dry.
I don’t know what to do until 1pm.
Please pray I get better. My sleep is all I want.
