Anyone else experience insomnia after getting covid? That is the only thing I can think of. I have never really experienced this in my life before, and this is twice now in two weeks that I have not slept. The first time I at least fell asleep at about 7am and got a bit of rest. Today again I did not sleep, but I am heading to the mountains for a bike ride in about an hour. This will be interesting.
Yes - I felt it as well. The physical sensation was similar to intense anxiety - heart palpitations, throbbing, headaches, fear.
I genuinely believe my reaction was a consequence of fear, rather than a distinctly physiological/biochemical fault of cov.
Once I started seeing improvements, the fear abated, and the anxiety went away. The day after my initial set of improvements, I took a shit and saw some red in there. Went for a drive and all awhile the pattern of anxiety was back, the fear, the heart palpitations, all of it. I kept thinking oh god this cov thing is no joke, here I am shitting blood, what am I gonna do!
Until I realized the red was because I had drank a bunch of beet juice in the morning. And immediately, the anxiety was gone, headache disappeared, in an instant.
You might find solace knowing: almost everyone on the planet has contracted this damn thing, and here we all are still. Eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, spend time loving your family, go play in the sun, and it will all be alright. See if you can tackle the anxiety by way of strengthening your conviction and confidence.
If you feel down and need a good laugh, just remember what Ravioli used to say: it's a F*cking nothing burger!
