I'm sick, I need to rest, but I cant sleep!?!
Question: I'm sick, I need to rest, but I cant sleep!!?
On monday I was very sick with a 104 temp!. At the doctors office they were able to get the temp down, and I was also given antibiotics to treat bronchittis and a possible peumonia (i am really bad at spelling, sorry!.) They did not send me for chest x-rays becuase I just had peumonia in February and they are afraid that it would be too much exposure to radiation!.
To make a long story short, I no longer have a fever however I still feel like garbage!. Yesterday I felt a little better but today I'm just miserable!. I think its because last night i could not sleep! Which is odd becuase I usually have no problem sleeping when I'm sick!. Its just hard to get comfortable, and then even when taking the prescription caugh meds, my caugh still manages to wake me up!.
I only slept about 2 hours last night!. I want to sleep so badly but I cant seem to fall asleep! I put dark sheets over my windows to keep the light out, its very quiet!. What do I do!!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
When I'm sick, I can't sleep!. The pain makes me feel very restless!. One time I stayed awake for four days straight, sleeping *maybe* a few hours that entire time!. You need something that will relieve your pain or put you to sleep - Nyquil, Tylenol PM, etc!. Ask your doctor if it's safe to take these drugs with your antibiotics!. Feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Rest and sleep aren't really the same thing!. That story they gave you about it being too much radiation is bogus, not very much radiation at all!. 1 chest xray is equivelent to 2 hours in the sun!. You don't want to lie down too much with pneumonia anyway, it makes it worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
since you've been sick for a while you have probably been sleeping a lot and tho you feel tired your body is not and thats prolly why you cant sleep try to drag yourself outta bed for a minute i know all you want to do right now is sleep but you gotta do something like clean up you know something light so it doesnt irritate your cough then eat something and watch a movie you'll prolly fall asleep with a full belly =] hope i could helpWww@Answer-Health@Com
i'll tell your right now, bed rest is an old home remedy!.!. rest is good, don't get me wrong, but you have to keep your body active!. can't sleep!? get something to eat, and do something you can!. play a videogame, i wouldn't recommend exercising or anything heavyduty!. maybe clean the place up!? do some yoga!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Call you doctor and ask if you can take Tylenol PM or Drink Night Time Thera Flu along with your prescription!. Explain that you cannot sleep and you feel miserable!. They should be able to recommend something! Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
