Hey everyone!I know that some of you may not check my Telegram So, I wanted to share an update about my health. I understand that not everyone may take the time to read it, but it’s really important to me, as it relates to my health and how it might affect my work in the future.I recently came down with the flu. If you didn’t know, I had COVID about 4-5 weeks ago, which triggered my asthma. I’ve dealt with asthma throughout my life, but it was mostly dormant. I never needed inhalers or hospital visits. However, since contracting COVID, my asthma has become much more severe.I’ve been feeling extremely fatigued and struggling to get enough sleep. I was using my inhaler occasionally, maybe once or twice in a day, but not every day.Unfortunately, COVID seems to have weakened my immune system. Even though I recovered from the virus, my asthma symptoms have stayed. With the flu now on top of that, I’m feeling worse than ever, to the point where I'm only getting 2-4 hours of sleep a night because I can barely breathe.My doctor has always advised me to avoid getting sick, as I’m considered a high-risk patient. There’s a real concern that covid could permanently damage my lungs, and I fear that day may have arrived. Over the past 5-6 weeks, my condition has worsened despite using my inhaler 4-5 times daily. Nasal sprays aren’t helping, my nose is constantly clogged, and I’m experiencing persistent wheezing, coughing, and tightness in my chest and throat.I have some medical tests coming up, but I’m dreading the results. I’m afraid of hearing that my lungs could be permanently damaged and that I might need a stronger inhaler. Inhalers can have long-term effects on the heart, and my family has a history of heart problems, my uncle had a heart attack in his twenties, and my aunt has a weak heart.Right now, I feel trapped between the need to breathe and the risk of future heart issues. I’m struggling with denial and fear, as this situation limits my daily activities and overall quality of life. I’m scared and exhausted, feeling like I can’t do anything without risking an asthma attack.I know everything will be okay in the end, but I still feel lost.Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you made it this far, please reply with a heart emoji. ❤️I’ve also tried everything to find relief: steam therapy at home, Vicks, hot showers, and countless cups of tea. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. It’s possible that I might have a lingering lung infection from COVID that hasn’t fully healed, especially with the flu complicating things.This is also another reason why I had to take a step back from a lot of things and focus on myself.I will loose income but I can't work feeling likeI am also currently at my mom for this entire week to do treatments for my asthma QnQ
