Long COVID: Accepting my new normal

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....

My provider said due to having long Covid my immune system is now weak. had never been sick before. I was a nurse at the VA. Never have been on any meds now I’m on so many meds since having a long Covid we also discovered that I have medication sensitivity so all of my meds that I have to take I’m going to experience all the side effects to them and like I said I’ve been getting it’s either that viral or bacterial. They alternate each month tonsillitis since maybe October of last year I’ve been having to take antibiotics practically every month yeah every month for my eye she gave me antibiotic eyedrops. and the symptoms that I experienced now are just really life-changing and I’m not I’m not old or anything. I’m only 48 years old. I have two teenagers that I used to actively participate with and now the only thing we can do is lay in the bed and watch movies together, because anything I try to do it just drains me completely. I have a big crash I’m trying to get used to this new normal so to speak but it’s hard of us very active with my children and with friends very social.
