The past three days, I have been so exhausted that even after sleeping 7 -8 hours, I am still exhausted. I end up napping a few times a day. I do have an increase in post nasal drip and under my eyes looks sunk in. How do I know if I am brewing a sinus infection or dealing with a flare? I haven't felt rested after a nap for a long time but the level of exhaustion now is crazy
I know what your going thru. I couldn’t tell if it was lupus or sinus’ but now my sinus has cleared up I’m not sleeping quite as much. Hopefully that’s all your dealing with. I just drank a lot of water and rested as my body told me. It took weeks to kick though.
It is really hard to tell the difference, I had a sinus infection forever! Then after I finally got rid of it the flare came. Could have been the antibiotic not sure. Treat the sinus and get lots of rest!
Just went through the same thing last week , It was to the point that I could barely keep my head on straight. Its really hard to know when your going to have a flare up. Mine usually comes with some kind of skin thing too so I know if its a flare or just a sinus infection but last week it did both so wasn't sure what to do so I took sinus meds and that kinda took some of it away but still was so tired . It even came to the point that I took an Iron pill too. Ask you dr. to see if he can check into sinus issue because a few months ago I was so exhausted had dizzy spells neck pain , headache pains and I thought for sure I was having some kind of reaction to something "LUPUS" but infact it was a sinus infection. Had to be put a antibiotic to clear it up.. Well I wish you the best . Drink lots of fluids and get the rest you need ...
When I get like that my red blood count and platelets are low. All I want to do is sleep. Does your heart pound when walking up a flight of stairs? That will confirm anemia.
