COVID19

In late February 2020, I started to become dizzy while I was at work. I think, my vertigo is acting up since I've been sleeping late for weeks. After three days, I couldn't stand it any longer. The odd feeling on my head is alarming so I went to see our family doctor... Result, my blood pressure was 150/100. My doctor gave me a concern look and advised me to watch what I eat; eat less meat and salty foods. I should take enough rest and sleep. Avoid too much stress. However, with the kind of work environment I have, it's difficult.

So doctor prescribed me some meds. I had to take them daily, one tablet a day for my bp and the other for my vertigo which is 28grams and probably the highest by far from all the vertigo tablets I've taken. My vertigo was born when  I was just in 3rd grade.... after my visit to the doctor, I went back to work on Wednesday but the next day I gave up and decided to go to the ER. My brother E. went with me. Since COVID19 has started to spread in the capital, I had to have us wear mask. It was scary to go inside the hospital. The receiving staff at the ER gave me the usual check-up routine prior admittance. The young doctor who checked on me was a rookie. It was hard talking to them with their face mask on. I had to ask them to write or remove their cover for a bit. That was sort of a mistake! I didn't get to stay long inside and was told that I can go home and to take a rest. My BP seems normal but my headache hasn't subside. I had to hold onto my brother as we left the hospital. I stayed home and felt really sick. I hoped I could go to work by Monday but I sense something is just isnt right bec. I can feel my body is slowing me down. I don't want to take any chance if I  travel long to work. I don't want to be caught too sick and weak on the way while on commute. Besides, there is no guarantee I will be able to get a Grab ride after work even if I am willing to pay that much.  

The days went by and a week passed, that I have been absent at work until it reached 2 weeks. Although, I started to feel a bit better but then, COVID19 has really spread rapidly in the city.
