do you have the bronchitis? I get tonsillitis with mine it seems like almost monthly and I’ve been having long Covid since September October 2021 and luckily for me I have a great provider and the first couple times I’ve had to come into the office, but since then she just prescribes my antibiotic and eyedrop, because for some reason along with the tonsillitis, I get a eye infection in my right eye and we go from there

Sunday, week ago, I had to go to the ER for an "episode" in which no testing could identify sources (CT, exrays, EKG, blood samples, flu and covid tests (Covid test does not have JN.1 in test profile...so always negative unless antobody test). I was not having Covid or flu symptoms. It was a sudden onset of feeling warm (building was also warm), then profuse sweating, then a wave of nausea like a wall hit me. I got out of the building, began cooling off, eventually lost nausea and sweeting returning to "normal". My heart rate was up well over 100, while doing nothing of physical nature. My BP was also up. So, we went to the emergency room. I was also excessively sleepy before and after the event. Everything on the tests was normal or negative. I have never had this happen before. But, the exray did show bronchitis. I had flu A, Covid, and bronchitis back in December and was still shaking it off by mid January. But, all cleared in the lungs. Then, the few days prior I had unusual congestion and a few other less significant symtoms. We attributed to a spike in cedar pollen. I have many allergies.

I think this caused the bronchitus to return. Twice in less than 40 days. I have had it various times with the Covid source virus variants. Not all though.

It seems I am more susceptible to bronchitis, no matter the source.

Your eyes... are you on prednisone or other steriod?

Tolsilitis, viral throat infection....
