You may find it strange: Sister Sa, looking at your previous article, aren’t you already well?
Yes, I think I'm better too.
After all, overall, the course of Yang Guo’s disease is relatively mild and the duration is relatively short.
For example, I only had a fever for one day, and it was not a high fever, probably over 38 degrees, and then the fever subsided.
For another example, I don’t have a sore throat when swallowing a razor blade. After coughing for three or four days, I basically stopped coughing. There is no large amount of phlegm. Especially, I didn’t see some brothers and sisters in the group coughing up blood. I feel very lucky.
Basically for about a week, that is, after I finished writing the article, I was thinking about returning to normal work and what to do. Except that I couldn't exercise like before, I didn't care about walking, washing my hair and bathing.
But just five days ago, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with me.
I thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be no obvious trigger. If there was anything different, it might be that before the symptoms appeared, I went to the mall for an afternoon. I didn’t do strenuous exercise. I just walked around and walked normally.
As a result, the next day, when I woke up, I felt very weak. The fatigue that I felt when I was healthy seemed to have returned.
At first I thought I had slept too much, but just a few steps from the bedroom to the living room, I felt something was wrong because I wanted to breathe.
Because of regular exercise, I was relatively confident in my vital capacity before. Especially after Yang Kang, I always thought that I was the one who recovered well.
But this kind of lack of energy, palpitation and shortness of breath makes me feel a little difficult to adapt, because I have never been like this before. Let alone exercise, I feel so tired that I want to gasp for breath even when I go downstairs to pick up a courier, or even take two steps to take the elevator.
At first, I was still mumbling: Could it be that my blood oxygen had dropped?
That’s not right. I looked at my normal-colored nails and estimated my breathing rate per minute. Well, both of these are normal, so my blood oxygen should be fine.
But it didn’t work. I just felt flustered and short of breath. I felt out of breath at every turn. When I was sitting typing to write an article, I had to stop twice in the middle. In the end, it just didn't work out, so I moved my computer to the bed and lay half down, and finally finished writing the article.
When I discovered this situation on the first day, I didn’t dare to go out. I just lay down at home when I was full, and I became a lay-down homegirl again.
But it was still the same the next day, and I didn’t feel any better after lying down all day.
I couldn't hold it back, so I talked about my situation in a group of doctor friends. Some friends said that their situation was similar to mine. Some friends suggested that I'd better go to the hospital and be careful myocarditis.
Recently I have indeed seen many cases of hospitalization and even serious cases of myocarditis, so it would be false to say that I am not worried. So when I continued to lie down for two days and found that this was still the case, I had no choice but to go to the hospital.
When I asked about the hospital closest to my home, I needed to make an appointment in advance for a CT scan, which might not be available on the day, so Lao Kang took me to another tertiary hospital. When I arrived, because it happened to be lunch time, the outpatient clinic was not open yet.
It took only a few dozen steps from the door to the building. Seeing me panting like a fish on the chair, Lao Kang was so frightened that he directly pulled me into the emergency room .
I arrived at the emergency room and explained the situation. Unexpectedly, the doctor on duty said to me directly: Recently, there have been a lot of people like you... Feeling flustered and uncomfortable! I'll come to the hospital now!
I looked back from the eldest sister. A girl about my age at the triage table was talking to the doctor: I have chest tightness, asthma, and have been feeling uncomfortable for two days...
Anyway, I sat on that chair for a while, and there were many people around me who were in the same situation as me. Everyone understood it when they looked at their eyes. They all had chest tightness, shortness of breath, and panic.
After all, I still have to do the tests that need to be done, otherwise I will always feel unsure. Myocardial enzyme spectrum, electrocardiogram and CT were prescribed, and I went to check them.
First, blood was drawn to check cardiac enzyme :
and then CT:
Finally, I did an electrocardiogram:
The electrocardiogram was on the third floor. I, a person who used to swim a thousand meters a day, went to the third floor to rest twice. Can you believe it?
I don’t even want to believe it myself.
Fortunately, after struggling for so long, the final result came out that nothing was wrong, there was no "white lung", and it was not myocarditis. I was finally relieved, and the rest was just to rest at home.
The emergency doctor told me that although I am considered lucky at the moment, after all, I still have symptoms such as palpitation and shortness of breath, so I can't be brave and just rest at home. I can't do physical work, let alone strenuous exercise.
Every time I draw blood, my arm will be green and I will be drunk. While
was still waiting for the results, he also saw the notice sent by the gym. Originally, it was said to be closed until December 31st, but this time it will be directly postponed to February 1st.
But at this time, people probably won’t go back even if the doors open. I really admire people who have the strength to keep fit.
To summarize my feelings:
I think there are many people in a similar situation to me. If you really feel chest tightness, chest pain, palpitation and shortness of breath, you still need to pay attention to your blood oxygen and cardiac enzymes. After all, myocarditis is really no joke. If nothing happens, then you must have a good rest!
