I was doing pretty well and had a few days straight where I was at maybe 80% of my normal self. A few days ago, I was feeling pretty tired in the afternoon, so I decided to take a nap for about an hour and a half. As soon as I woke up I started feeling bad, like all of my symptoms started coming back at once. I was dizzy, my chest felt tight, my neck felt tight, I felt like I couldn’t breathe, etc. This is not the first time this has happened to me, and really I should’ve learned my lesson and avoided taking a nap. Why do naps make me feel awful? I don’t have this problem when I sleep at night during my normal sleeping hours.
