Living with HF

[Stradey]

Hi everyone,

I am feeling very anxious at the moment. I had a bad weekend, as the fatigue was unbelievable and I could hardly get out of bed. I did think I was going to go to sleep and not wake up! I have improved today and not so tired (although I have just had a 2hr biddy nap!). I am getting anxious about “getting things ready” for what I know will happen one day.

I am having an iron infusion on Friday, which I am sure the low iron count is having a big effect on my mental state.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Sleep is a good thing... your body is taking time to repair itself... I think low iron has this affect?

I was recently put in Diazepam along with a few other drugs for a Urinary Tract Infection - so painful, I thought it was a pulled muscle... but GP was right, and am feeling better now... but the drugs zonked me out good and proper... must have slept from 11:00-17:00 three days on the trot, as well as a normal nights sleep... as I say I feel better for it.

I guess it comes down to learning our new limits and listening to our bodies... keep a record, and discuss with your GP next time you see them... there might be alternative meds?

Everyone loves a 'Nana knap'💤👵😊
