I've been sick now for 8 weeks, and after 3 weeks i underwent a round of antibiotics as i showed signs of a bad sinus infection.
During the week of flushing my system with the antibiotics, the effects moved into my chest with a terrible cough lasting 2 weeks. It was so bad, i could not sleep. The cough reduced to just bed time and wake up time.
For the next 3 weeks, the cough was consistent and not end in site... doc sent me in for an ECG / Blood and xray. All came back good today.
The cough has now turned into a head cold (fml).
This community appears to be super informed and my doc mentioned undergoing a 72 hr fast (i'm 7 hrs in). I on IF in the past 20 / 4 and felt amazing!
Any comments regarding a 72 hr fast while sick would be much appreciated... i just feel like i've given my body everything its needed to get better. I consider myself healthy, exercise 5 times a week, eat clean and have never been sick for more than 5 days in the past.
Cheers!

I had a sinus infection the other month and it felt worse than when I had Covid! Hope you feel better with all you have going on. Just stay hydrated during your fast you’ll be fine. I fast when I’m sick and surprisingly feel better, get your sleep too!

Ive been doing weekly 3 day fast to drop weight. I had a cold a 3weeks ago while doing my first 3 day fast. First two days were difficult(hunger, headaches, chills) and I decided to stop exercising so it was easier to recover.
Make sure to stay warm throughout the day. Day two of fasting my body temp always drops(which is how I got my cold originally).
I’m back to normal now but I just had a regular cold. I would recommend not exercising and focus on rest and do your best not to stress.
Hope you get well soon.
