Our bodies are incredibly durable. You're here today despite worse things to the contrary. This too, shall pass. Use this time to clean up your life and get back to a healthy lifestyle. Have a blessed life!
It’s been 6 months since I had covid and I’m still having chest pains, irregular heart beat, muscle pains, joint pains, shortness of breath, and dizzy spells. Doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong with me ☹️
Having survived covid without hospitalization I can agree with the symptom of prolonged fatigue. I guess this makes sense because the body has fought an intruder that poses a threat to life. My approach with fatigue is to do more not less non strenuous physical exercise like house chores. Mopping laundry cleaning and walking. The most important and helpful way I've managed my fatigue is by incorporating lots of fresh air. Ventilation crack bedroom window open while sleeping and take short walks outside especially when the sun is out. Also sipping on weak milky tea throughout the day and taking supplements cod liver oil capsules magnesium vitamin D3 and a spoon of Feroglobinliquid with zinc every other day. A massage also helps as well as prayer. Adequate rest is important too ensuring to keep warm especially around the chest area. Wish all Covid long haulers a quick recovery
So glad I read this. I myself came down with Covid early Dec. Its been 2wks since the illness has passed. But the winded feeling and hypertension is still here with. I too, overcame Covid naturally. But the post syndrome is scary and wearing me out
I had a heart condition after having covid last year I was healed sometime in July of my heart condition and I still get out of breath easily I had covid in January 2021 and also got double covid pneumonia
We tested positive for covid 19 on September 1st, unfortunately my father didn't survive. I was in a quarantine facility for 14 days, as I complained shortness of breath, fast heart rate, dizziness and chest, neck and throat pain. So I had my blood tests done, 2D echocardiogram, chest thoracic CT scan this last week of September, all were normal. My cardio and pulmo docs told me it was more on anxiety since I've got this problem for years. My main complaints up until now are difficulty breathing(I can't inhale satisfyingly), dizziness, lightheadedness/dizziness, palpitations especially when moving around. I just don't know what am feeling. It's scary for me since my type of anxiety is health anxiety. Edit/update: I feel much better now, Praise God! Although I'm still experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, palpitations body pains (back pain) and anxiety, they're very manageable now. There's hope for everyone. Just trust the Lord Jesus Christ and do your part as well. Positive thinking even it's very difficult, crying, praying, deep breathing, stretching, eating, and taking baby steps do help me. Just allow yourself to grieve, cry it out to Jesus, it does help. God bless everyone. 🙏🏼 ❤️
I pray that you will be able to find calmness in your anxiety. I feel chest heaviness too, post COVID. I feel more anxious knowing there's no cure but to wait it out.
The following scriptures have helped me through my current recovery. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear. (Psalms 46:1-2) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) It's not easy going through this. When you feel any symptoms, anxiety, or both, speak these scriptures out loud. The more you do it and you trust in God the more you will feel peace. You will make it through. All the best
Try deep breathing exercises and a spirometer. You need to exercise your lungs. I've been having the same problems for 5 weeks now and it's been helping me a lot. I am still not 100% but I would say it helps me breathe a little much easier.
after fighting covid19 leaved me asthma,heart ache,cough during 2am till 4am,i hope i can survive this..but i accept my endings if its time..i'll just enjoy my daily moments with my family, co workers and friends.this comment might be seen by my wife,children,grandchildren and friends in the future.i love you always.
exercise too hard can make it worse. Twenty minute walk is good. Avoid sugar and caffeine and any alergy triggers. Practice meditation. Include healthy diet and natural anti inflammatory ingredients.Good sleep and unwinding is key. Random muscle aches are common. But heart and lungs should do fine just Cutt off anxiety. If you survived the covid you will survive these ongoing symptoms.
Why are these symptoms such as shortness of breath, heavy chest, heart/chest pains, lung/pain not appearing on X-rays or test? Doctors are just dismissing things as anxiety! It’s so frustrating! They’re misdiagnosing us & giving us antidepressants!
Agreed 100%. Doctors are very dismissive. Not all types of heart inflammation show on X-rays. You would need a cardiac MRI. These are such expensive tests though.
@@stesmith7040 I’m not sure if it’s lung pain or heart paint but my back does hurt sometimes so maybe it is lung pain. But I’ve been trying some stuff and it’s calmed it down by ALOT. If I stop, it starts back up again but for the most part I’m just taking ibuprofen 400mg - every other day for the pain and taking vitamins: omega, zinc, magnesium (500mg) everyday. Not sure what does what but it’s helped me SO MUCH. I’m only 2 - 3 weeks into taking them but it’s made such a difference.
@@dg4053 thats helping inflammation which helps oxygen intake, makes sense it help, i do it too. now i have autoimmune encephalitis and am on oxygen suprisingly enough antinflammitorys although basic help so much just at home besides my infusion
Reading alot of the comments it seems we all are having some type of long lasting effects after coming in contact with the virus whether physical mentally or both. I'm not sure of your faith but we have to PRAY AND PRAY and if and when your body permits you to stay focused on just getting healthier. You guys take care and be blessed 🤗
Bronchospasm causes a lot more than just “discomfort”. Even the milder attacks can be seriously terrifying and leaving you unable to speak- with a building wall of co2 building up in the blood due to lack of effective expiration. This should not fall under “chest pain” which is more likely caused by cardiac issues such as pericarditis, myocarditis or possible blood clots. The distress is unbelievable
Chest pain can be lungs too. Bronchospasm is just something entirely separate. I have both. The pain is constant. The spasms come when I provoke my lungs by laying on my back or when I am too active or when I talk too much. It feels entirely different than the pain.
@@santa3018 if chest pain persists, pls monitor ur heart rate ... I use an oximetry to manage my oxygen Nd heart rate...it’s been months yet spo2 Nd heart rate still fluctuate.. I still can’t climb stairs without being breathless Nd feeling like a minor heart attack..😌 But chest pain can also be muscular pain, a common long term symptom along with pain in the joints Nd legs... hope u get better soon..
@@inaayatsingh8794 my heart rate and bp is high and i have chest pains. i'm not sure what started (bp and heart rate or chest pains) i also get pain toes and eyes which come and go quickly
@@xyz-ey7ul these are all symptoms of long term covid recovery...u should see a doctor to check if covid had an impact on Ur heart... Most people only check the lungs.. so get Ur heart checked .... Also does Ur oxygen drop..? I was treated for these long term symptoms with steroids... But they stopped only when I got my vaccination dose..after that day...most of my symptoms are gone... Sorry u r having to go thru this..hope u get better soon...🙏✌️
Thank you so much for this informative video! I recovered from COVID-19 a year ago but I still experience these symptoms. I don't know what to do. Everyone keeps telling me maybe I just need more rest. But no matter how hard I try to relax, all these symptoms just won't go away. I try to exercise but everytime I do, I experience a pulsing headache. I just hope and pray we all get healed somehow someday. And if you can suggest what doctor should I go to, pls feel free to reply. Thank you all so much. I've also been reading the comments and it has given me a lot of hope because I thought I was alone in this battle. Hugs to all!
We had it a year ago and I had a lot of issues and I think the headaches and fatigue were because of lack of oxygen. After a year and no improvement I started doing breathing exercises 2 times a day. Sit down, Breathe in deep through nose (tighten stomach)) hold for 4-5 seconds and breathe out of your mouth until theirs no more air. A lot of coughing happens during it but it helps. After doing this for a month my headache and fatigue and tight chest is gone. I also did some stretching of the neck, and chest every morning. These things really have helped.
@@tngardener231 what you describe is something I've learned in yoga. And it makes so much sense. The body holds trauma of all kinds, so breathing and exercising kinda release the tension accumulated by our body during covid. Thanks for the info by the way. This really should help.
I'm still experiencing a dry cough with shortness of breath and pain in my chest ever since I had covid. Its been 4 weeks since I had the virus. It got so bad I had to go to hospital and they did a chest x-ray....the doctor says I've got lung covid and showed my x-ray. It looks like it was filled with a misty fog which she says was covid residue. She said I would feel better once it decreases....my question is "how do I cope as I'm unable to sleep at nights?" I've been taking my inhaler as I also have asthma...I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
I blended turmeric, ginger,garlic,red onions ,I take one tablespoon each day made me feel better ,I also steam my face each day ,using onions eucalyptus oil,cinnamon, in the water hot ,putting towels over my head ,I hope it helps I also have asthma and a pacemaker, hypertension,
You say that as life will get back to normal. The life that we once knew is gone forever. We got our asses kicked so bad that a virus changed the world
it certainly would be an interesting addition to military manuals and bioweapon counterstrike. Sorry but you cant convince me any different. Look at the country and where we were October November December 2020. And then what happened after that. How and why?
At this rate, we are in the pandemic ongoing. The virus is mutating and we are not getting it under control. The vaccination was hopeful but since people are refusing to get vaccinated and we are back to full ICUs and 1000 dying a day.
@@jhasselberger not only that, but there are break through cases of covid after vaccination. I honestly think, even though the vaccine is good, there should be a treatment for covd patients and post covid patients. You know how we have medication for the flu? I think there should be the same thing. The treatments have gotta be out there somewhere.
I have pulmonary fibrosis/interstitial lung disease post-Covid. I just had a bronchoscope/lavage to biopsy scarring and "wash" a lot of the junk out of my lungs. It's important if you are still having symptoms to keep following up with your doctors. I also have a weakened immune system in my lungs, I caught bronchitis very easily, and it put me back in the ER a few weeks ago. I had Covid in August 2020, so this is lasting a very long time!
I work in post acute therapy with people who have had severe cases of coronavirus. The effects on the lungs devastating, but the way it effects the heart is honestly scary. I've been with a man who had a heart attack after climbing three steps. I seen peoples heart rates jump from a 80 to 160bpm after standing and walking less than a meter. The recovery period before its safe for discharge can be months.
I am 24 year old, after 8weeks of testing negative from covid, and having had only mild symptoms during covid, now I feel worst ever. Fast heart rate, pain chest, breath shortness, anxiety and panic attacks. This is worst diseases ever. They also found me that covid damaged my heart. I hope this will not affect human body permanently
I tested positive for covid on 1st August 2021. I had mild chest but severe back and abdominal cramps for 1st one week. After that i started to recover. There were so symptoms till 26th August. Suddenly i started to have panic attacks feel that I'm going to die. I started to Google the symptoms and yet it made me feel worse. Now for few days I'm having depression and anxiety issues. I'm also having chest pain that come and go, upper back pain, stomach cramps and sometimes shortness of breath. For this issues i can't even sleep in night. I'm getting insomnia.
You have exactly what I do. I never had panic attacks. Heart racing. Shortness of breath. Its now a daily occurence 6 weeks after very bad covid spell I had
In my mind, I always assumed it was internal damage caused by COVID that takes time to heal. I didn't think it was a chronic disease just a prolonged time is needed for recovery or permanent damage was done.
I'm experiencing unilateral knee pain in several episodes/month after 2 months from recovery of covid( family history- my mother is diagnosed with RA, & my father also has some knee problem). Covid might have precipitated those symptoms. I also sometime experience blurred vision & decreased hearing after 6 months from recovery of covid... Plz pray for me for complete recovery...
I had Lyme disease that infected the joints in my knees, but Covid-19 definitely made the joint pain worse. My doctor recommended a knee brace and has referred me to physical therapy for the pain. This is normal for post-Covid, but you could get a blood test to check for RA. RA is usually triggered by a virus. I still have tinnitus, and my ENT can even see it when she examined my ears, she says many of her Covid survivor patients have it. It does feel like it's getting better very gradually, 10 months from diagnosis myself. Good luck in your recovery!
You’ve had shortness of breath for over a year??? I just recovered from covid but I have shortness of breath now and it’s horrible to deal with. I can’t work. Especially with my mask on making it even harder to breathe
10 months out, you're not alone! I also have joint pain and pins and needles on my feet and legs. I still have permission to use my albuterol as often as needed, I only had mild asthma before. Have you had a thorough blood test since recovering? I know personally this illness depleted many of my nutrients and minerals which could explain the dizziness and lightheadedness. I want to think it will get better over time. Best wishes to you and your recovery.
There is good info here, but as a long hauler who has now recovered my experience was that exercise or being active could often make you relapse. My long covid specialists say this condition is likely due to viral debris still left in our system. All I know that I took some medication for inflammation and I'm back to normal now. No one is looking into these medications unfortunately and is continuously discrediting them. The NIH and CDC are a complete failure and all they talk about is the vaccine. There are medications that are working around the world, but our doctors will not prescribe them. I'm not going to mention the names because I am not advocating for any of these medications. I'm simply telling you my experience and its a shame that our doctors are not willing to be practitioners in the time most needed. Most of the long-haul issues are due to persistent inflammation from the debris that is causing your immune system to stay highly alert and active.
I was put on pretty common medications for 3 months now. It's different for each patient though. My illness is mainly still attacking my lungs, causing inflammation and some scarring. Some patients have heart, neurological, or issues with other organ systems. I know I can go for a long walk on a "good" day then feel terrible for days after. It's important to not overdo it, ease into it instead and take frequent breaks. I've had two Covid tests and came back negative, but I have lyme disease and "persister" bacteria is common with that, kind of like the persister virus that hides from testing. Sometimes these illnesses though can set off an immune response where your immune system attacks your own body, kind of like an autoimmune disease.
It’s been a little more than two weeks since I recovered from covid. I developed chest pains, shortness of breath, random sharp aches and twitches all over my body and anxiety. I went to get an EKG done because I feel like I’m having heart attacks and my doctor told me my results don’t look too good. I’m being referred to a different hospital for a further check up. I wish everyone who developed post symptoms a speedy recovery!
I have a Covid three weeks ago I’m on oxygen because of my shortness of breath chest pain and cough!! Now the doctor telling me it’s COPD! I been out of work the doctor refused to sign my paperwork for my job so I can get paid for being off! Then the doctor tells me I’m free to go back to work with oxygen!!
I am 21 years old had mild covid and recovered in home isolation, my SPO2 level never decreased below 98%... 3 weeks after testing negative I am having chest pain, dizziness, anxiety, depression, not able to sleep consulted doctor gave me sleeping pills but i am afraid to take it because sometimes i experience shortness of breath... I hope it resolves soon. Suggestions please
@@morespeedmorepeace isn't there any medication for that? I'm also having pain near heart and kidney sometimes😔. Yeah thanks I'm trying to do all these .
I have bad fatigue but the shortness of breath doesn’t seem to get better. I have been put on all the inhalers and now injections and this shortness just doesn’t go away.. 😟
How long will it take for an teenager to fully recover from this? Years? months? weeks? Cause I’ve been having something stuck inside my throat for 2 months ever since after I got my second vaccine and I was fine for a month after covid but now I’ve been having something stuck in my throat for 2 months will this ever go away? I also been having weakness but the throat is the one thing I want to go but will it ever go away?
Ever since I was diagnosed with Covid in April *2nd time within 4 months*, I’ve been sick on & off. People think I’m lying but every time I catch a “cold” it lasts weeks & it feels like Covid.
I believe you and I hope you are OK, I got infected back in Feb 2020 and they refused to test m because I didn't have 1 symptom. I was sure it was COVID. Got again the same symptoms last week and surely tested positive. It's really hard when people don't believe you, you know your body better than anyone.
I had Covid in August 2020, and I got bronchitis very easily, and it was so bad that it made me go to the ER. I believe you, your lungs have taken a big blow from this virus. Hopefully you are following up with a pulmonologist and your CT scans have cleared up. Just because you test negative for the virus, doesn't mean the illness is gone. It's caused a lot of inflammation and ongoing damage to my lungs, similar to interstitial lung disease, but my doctors aren't quite sure what to call it. If you are still not feeling well, it is very impressed to continue follow up.
I contracted the virus last year February but wasn't hospitalised because I didn't show any symptoms, and it wasn't until this previous December that I started feeling severe chest pains, difficulty when inhaling and sometimes shortness of breath.
My heart began to race after 6 months of being ill. After 3 months, we tried a shock to the heart to get it back to a regular beat. My heart beat was normal for 7 hours and then the pounding of it woke me up. I was still in the hospital. I got 3 meds. Later we reduced it to 2. I hate the pills but my Doctor seems to think that the racing heart is still there, but controlled. I sometimes have times of tiredness. The meds take away a lot of motivation. My memory is slowly getting better. I couldn't even add in my head. Still, it is 18 months after the hospital stay and as of 12 months after the hospital stay, I have been feeling better. It's a process and each of us is so unique in our diet and lifestyle, that I don't believe that there is one solution for this. Another friend had it for 6 months and saw many specialists for her heart and loss of breath. She had to take off from work for 8 months after Covid. She is still tired easier. She is 16 years younger than I am.
I have been a year terrified for my heart. Visited several doctors. Got meds and everyone said i was healthy. Thank God after a year and a half my heart beat is normal but every now and then i get palpitations. This comment calmed me down. I am not the only one. The docs said it was anxiety attacks
@@betafitness it can be so many things. Eat nourishing varied foods. Stay away from sugar and starches. A lack of iron can cause that too. Ask your Doctor,if it persists. I didn't feel mentally anxious, but my Dr. also said that it was being excited/nervous. That was when my heart was racing and pounding like a drum. My heart is strong and this is all puzzling because I considered myself to be fit. Another friend had this too, ran to the hospital in panic, but she wasn't having a heart attack. Her condition improved and she is now back teaching, after an 8 month sick leave. She knew a heart specialist personally. Advantage for sure.
Didnt feel nothing when i was diagnosed with covid but after 10 days i suffered from shortness of breath and lack of energy which made it impossible for me To perform well in the gym or even in school
@@julzcaramel9776 What good does that do if you have already had the virus, Won't help the symptoms at all. The stuff that does help they won't sell over counter or it's very hard to get.
@@ShaneMcGrath. it’s not the case, symptoms or not at least you won’t develop any post recovery underlying health conditions such as lung and heart problems whilst being fully vaccinated. If you aren’t than it’s possible to struggle from post Cоvid recovery side effects.
@@julzcaramel9776 I did the Moderna vaccine early with my second shot being January 2021. I have two autoimmune diseases and have to take a biologic medication to treat them that also lowers my immune system. I got Covid near the end of September, and it has been an absolute nightmare for me. After spending just over a week in the hospital, I was transferred to a skilled nursing home for a week for continued treatment. I have been at home for 5 days now, and I have to have home health services. I'm on oxygen 24/7 AND I do breathing treatments. I am so fatigued that I'm afraid that I will fall everytime I go to the bathroom! I have to rest in there before making the trip back to my bedroom. This is a nightmare as I still can't smell and can barely taste the food I eat. So many people are experiencing this, but all we hear about are the ones saying "I'm fine."
@@ShaneMcGrath. The stupid thing is in many countries after having Covid you still need to get a vaccine to get a covid pass and then you risk a bad reaction or side effects for no health benefit.
Recovered from Covid 19 1 week back. As mentioned there is shortness of breath and weakness. More over very much worried about future health issues which causing severe stress on mind .
@@bhaskar8952 is that safe did it worked. As my parents 60+ given medicine by urban health care and I am still planning to consult doctor. They are telling to visit family doctor since family doctor says vist as he can't say anything over the call. Also I went to 1 doctor yesterday but he without even asking anything prescribed 10+ medicine and since my parents are 60+ I don't think this much medicine along with urban health medicine is suitable for them. Please suggest anything
I had covid in may, and it wasn't all that bad at the time. Did gardening and went for a walk in the river during my quarantine. It's now end of August and I still have one annoying symptom. If it's humid outside or I get humidity in my lungs from a shower, etc., I have a harder time breathing. It feels crackly in my chest/lungs every time I breathe in. If I breathe too deep, I cough. I haven't heard of anyone having issues with humidity.
It's been 2-3 months since I tested negative for COVID but everytime I'm doing my runs (which is a must for school) I feel a pain on my chest and shortness of breath my teachers don't understand :c
What about d-dimer tests and other inflammatory markers which are raised in few patients post COVID and may be the cause of death post COVID recovery??
D-dimer result should be at least "less than or equal to" .50 ugFEU/ml to be on the safe side. My d-dimer was 20,000 when I was admitted in the ER. 3 weeks after being discharged my final d-dimer result was .15ugFEU/ml. My doc said the drastic reduction can be attributed to my devoid of co-morbidities especially diabetes, thus faster recovery.
@@nycelectrician5796 Very good. I had to go to the ER in July. They did the d-dimer, and the doctor said to do a cat scan of the lungs, I guess because it was so high. The scan showed no blood clots. He wanted to hospitalize me, but I refused. They did the CV test and it was negative, but my regular doctor assumes I did have covid because of the severe symptoms I had since May. I didn't know there was a "long haul" covid recovery.
My neutrophils, IgE, IgA, IL-6, and CRP have been elevated for a year now. Brochoscope fluid was also was high in neutrophils, IgE (makes white frothy mucus) and dead blood (it makes brown thick mucus) from chronic lung inflammation. I had asthma prior to Covid, but it never caused my eosinophils to spike like this before. Still high WBC even after being on low dose prednisone (5mg) for 3 months now to try to slow down inflammation.
It's been over a year now and I still deal with fatigue and brain fog, I do notice less fatigue when I up my water intake but it'sstill there, shortness of breath is still present but taking deep long breaths when I'm outside has helped a lot. The coughing has subsided some. I have also noticed several other physical problems that weren't present before. I just wish I had some solutions.
Post covid I am having palpitations and sleep problems, suddenly my heart beat increases and it will vary for few hours and it goes away. All by blood tests are fine. Do I need to consult a doctor?
I felt shortness of breath after 8 days of quarantine and until now on my 2 weeks after recovery i still feel it. Also i started to have asthma attack every day or every two days and its really hard.
Yeah, but that was almost three weeks and a half. Eventually i feel better now, but you will feel gasping sometimes and also my asthma has lessen its attack, now it attacks every three days but in a mild condition.
I still get out of breath easily and February 5th will be a year since my healing I get out of breath after walking up the stairs or walking the dog for 5 minutes and it’s not because I’m obese I am but I think it was from having covid then double covid pneumonia
I had major issues with my lungs, breathing etc etc after getting a serious case of influenza 12 years ago. I have had bad asthma ever since. So these bad respiratory viruses can be quite damaging.
Got recovered and discharged from hospital and had little shaky hands and can’t sleep at night and i can feel my heartbeat throughout my body and sometimes pressure in chest , all these symptoms lasts for 20days after i came to home , now iam cool all became normal .
@@arnonymous7356 after discharge from hospital first 10days i used medicine which are given by doctors , next 10days I used multivitamin (atoz)and anxiety tablets for sleep 😴 , all are prescribed by doctors , thank you
My father and i have been diagnosed with covid a month ago. I still have shortness of breathe, fatigue, chest & back pain, cough and heart palpitations. It saddened me that it changed my life. I want to do so many things but my body can't do it anymore :(
More than 20 days and I am having random episodes of palpitations and tachycardia with anxiety, especially at night that is also affected by my posture.
@@deekshasaxena4674Drink plenty of water and other fluids. It will get reduced. Even I have caugh, chest pain(few moments in a day) and erratic beating of heart. I thought I developed pneumonia. Now I'm drinking ORS 21 X 2 grams a day(doc suggested me). I think it'll help. Let me know if u have any other solution.
I'm a bit better now and only ' feel' my resting heartbeat which is mostly at normal rate. It should improve soon as well, just avoid excessive bed rest , stay hydrated and keep a watch for any increasingly distressing symptom. Hope you all recover soon.
Nausea has been my biggest complaint 11 month later. I used to feel 10 to 15 years younger then my age, and now I feel my age 61. I am sure I will be retiring at 62 for sure.
I'm very sensitive on cold now. Not even a slight cold. Straight coughing for a day and breathing heavily seems like the lung is full of water. Currently on th 4th month after infected.
Heat the air you breathe..space heater..heater fan..hot water in a rice cooker to warm the air in bedroom..inhale the heat from the stove.. warm up at the stove..dont drink cold things..hot water bottle on the chest..sleep on your side to get weight off chest
follow up comment : im on my 6th month and fully healed from coughing and so on. i used black seed oil for 15 days straight and it suprisingly clear the cough. you guys should try! 😄
Too much coughing causes pnuemonia..inhale heat from the stove..warm up the air in the bed room with water in an electric rice cooker..thats what i did ..i had to get rid of my covid fast..sleep on your side to get tje weight of your ribs off your chest..drink one fresh lime or lemon with water daily..eat a balance meal..lettuce and red grapes fresh raw ginger raw onions drink lots of water..stay away from everything cold..you will get well quick ..take multivitamin... Get sunlight for warth and vitamin d
My mother's concentration is 88% to 90% after covid recovery is it okay since we are also using supplementary oxygen at home (her physician said 'It'll be okay). I am worried please help
Had first symptoms Feb.3rd. Tested positive X 2. Now I have shortness of air with minimal exertion, fatigue, dizziness intermittently, and brain fog. Some mild palpitations with exertion too. I'm an RN working in hospital setting. I have worked with covid patients since get go. I'm becoming very concerned. I'm taking all my vitamins. Sleeping hours intermittently. But, by now, I feel I should be doing better. I need to work at least part time to survive. Appreciate any and all prayers.
More than a year later after very mild Covid, I still feel my condition refuses to get on top level during aerobic exercises. My muscles get stronger but it's like I have now the heart and lungs of someone 10 years older. It's not dramatic but only a bit irritating. It's possible I got reinfected but didn't notice it or thought it was flu. So perhaps reinfection turns back progress for months.
@@Koraxus I go the gym a few times a week but not for long. Jogging is still not much my thing again. In the gym, I do short aerobics on medium intensity gradually up to maximum 120 heart rate normally. I don't go beyond because I fear my heart is "perhaps" weaker after covid. But very recently I feel I can now go up to 130. Perhaps it's all in my head, I have always been a hypochondriac.
I got COVID about a month ago and I’m a month out from joining special forces.. my lungs are half of what they were at and it tuff for me for even do a fraction of the anaerobic exercises I was doing.. I’m afraid that I may not be able to get back to where I was before indoc
Same here. I just did a light workout the other day and felt real good when I was done but I took it easy I didn’t go hard. I think it’s important to get back to the workouts but more important to take it slow but steady so that we can get back to where we were prior to Covid.
Watch some YT vids Dr Molbeen, he explains how the virus works. Get your heart and lungs checked out. Rest as much as you can. Low inflammatory diet. Nothing inflammatory. Electrolytes, magnesium, NAC, other supplements, support the liver. Best of luck!
hwo are you doing now? how did your test for special forces go? imo, it also affects heart and lungs and etc.. my capacity of physical stamina is less than half now after affected by this virus and dont see any improviement in past 7m, hope you get better.
I believe I'm one of those who had too strong an immune system. To protect myself against covid I worked out every day for almost a year, got in the best shape of my life with a six pack for the first time in my life and 12% body fat. I worked out in a fasted state, ate only 1 keto meal per day, drank 2 protein/organic veg powder shakes per day, lifted 4x per week, 3x per week I did interval sprints, no sugar and only veg carbs and took a 25 minute sauna every day. Each of those things is supposed to improve your immune system and honestly I felt like superman. Then I got covid and it almost killed me. Two months in the hospital, my lung collapsed twice, I had pneumonia and hallucinations to the point where the doctor put me on schizophrenia medication and my body now looks like shit with no muscles, skinny legs and arms and a bloated round stomach from all the steroids. The bottom line is that you should never take it for granted that just because you're in good health with no co-morbidities that you'll be one of those people who barely notice their symptoms. And yes, I was unvaccinated.
May I ask if you supplemented vitamin D, or any thing like that? I've noticed in people who got really bad, they were not eating or not eating nearly enough to get daily nutrients... Do you think this may have been a factor?
@@byebyeworldx. I was under a doctor's care the entire year before just to get in the best shape possible. I was taking everything imaginable and all my levels were constantly checked. Vitamin D, Vitamin C, NAC, quercitin, zinc, and about 25 other supplements...the works. Plus Ivermectin 1x per week prophylactically and my gut health was perfect. I can't think of anything I didn't do.
We're you taking vit c, d, zinc and magnesium prior to infection. We started taking those the first week the lock down happened. We didn't get the first and second variant but we had the omicron 3 weeks ago. It was very mild for us that the fever and chill went away after a day or two. We also didn't get cough and cold. My 84 yrs old mom in law had runny nose for a week. My diabetic husband had fatigue for almost two weeks. I had itchy throat for a week. My kids didn't have symptoms. We all take vitamins everyday and ate healthy. Lots of prayers, positive thoughts and exercise. Not vaccinated. We eat a lot of ginger, onion and garlic. I spent a lot of time cooking at home healthy meals. I hope you feel better. Don't lose hope. Get back to doing what you love slowly but surely
Came to this page in dispair cause having chest pains irregular beat good day bad day aches all over it comes like twice a week can’t sleep sometimes breathless it come and go someday good then another I just feel so bad
My symptoms: Fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks, can no longer smoke weed or I'll have panic attacks, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, brain fog, insomnia, loss of appetite
Have you gone checked at the doctor?, i just recently went waiting on blood results they dint gave me no really answer but i have this chest pains, fatigue, shortness of breath similar to what you said.
I would try to let your body recover from fasting everyday, 18/6. From 8-2 no eating and 2-6 eat. Push it to 24 hr fasts, eat only once a day. Your body will begin to replenish itself once you hit 20 hrs, also drink a ton of water so you don't dehydrate
It's been 2 weeks since I had the acute stage. I had pretty severe symptoms and had a lot of trouble breathing; almost went to the hospital. I've past the fevers but I still have shortness of breath. Kinda surprised to find this has long-term effects. Hope I can get back to my pre-infection level.
Thank you very much for the well wishes. I no longer have shortness of breath but still have lingering cough. My heart rate is back to normal. My guess is that my body's still fighting remnants of the virus in my lungs. We can make it. Be safe out there.
I had severe covid 2 weeks ago, I'm having shortness of breathing even after taking a few steps. I hope I can go back to normal again soon. So grateful to be alive!
For whoever this may help: I tested positive on New Years eve. Recovery wasn’t too bad: bed ridden, nausea, cough, loss taste and smell (returned after 1.5 weeks). Then got better just weak. -2 weeks after negative result, I started developing shortness of breath and cough. I had lung inflammation. Was on a steroid for two weeks and all better - 5 weeks in, chest pain and can’t take a full breath in. Inflammation is back and hardcore, I feel like I’m getting worse by day and the masks at work aren’t helping at all, I feel worse. I’m blaming myself because right after testing negative I went back to exercising. Some hit workouts and some not so hard targeting specific muscle groups 5 times a week. Did I do this to myself 😭??. Did anyone feel fine and bam got hit with inflammation after? -
Yes, it's like I had it once, started to feel better than bam it took me down again and i was seriously sick for another week and a half. Felt better enough to return to work but had to go home every day after work and have a 2 hour nap! I caught Covid December 21, was finally tested December 29, received results December 31, 2021. Returned to work January 17, did naps every night after work for first and second week. Now February 11 feeling better no naps but still not back to 100%. Still have shortness of breath from simply walking! Still feels hard to breath at times. Night night seems to be the worst time for coughing! I just want to kick it to the curb!
Of course the masks aren't helping at all. They are probably making everything worse. Stop believing the propaganda artists on TV pretending to be news casters.
Update: when I said the masks aren’t belong at all at work, I meant it’s difficult to breathe in them when already I couldn’t take a deep breath in without them. I do believe masks help prevent covid. I’ve dodged it since it started but when my coworkers went mask free in the break room including myself, 3 of us tested positive.
I am year now my arm,leg and feet sometimes is num my head hurst when I touch it it’s horrible I can’t with pain anymore sometimes I just want to die to not feel this pain anymore

I know how you feel. We already survived covid, we have to survive the after effects. We are alive, that's what matters, we didn't lose yet. Stay strong.
I have recovered from the heaviness of chest and breathing problem but still feel heavy in left chest and irregular heart beat mostly above 100 it's more than 1 months but no recovery from it. Life has become hell after Covid 19
Exercising as much as possible is DEFINITELY not the answer-> ever heard of Covid relapses? Also why no mention of the heart problems? That’s common long covid
You can do deep breathing exercises and one of those spirometers/lung exercisers that you inhale through a tube to make a ball float help you increase your lung capacity over time. Some gentle walks as tolerated don't hurt either, again, only as tolerated. I've been dealing with this 12 months now, so I have to get moving again somehow. Your muscles atrophy.
Yes, mild gentle exercises like yoga and walking are better. Your body needs rest when recovering from pneumonia. It's all about taking it slow and stopping when your body says stop. Deep breathing also helps keep the diaphragm strong.
Long Covid is not something that is going to clear up with exercise. Exercising to fatigue will make it worse!. This is already understood to be the case with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia
I am 20 years old and I developed asthma after catching covid back in October of 2021. To this day I have days where I feel okay to do something but have to stop, and there are days like today where I can’t get out of bed because I can’t breathe standing or moving around. I seen a pulmonologist and I currently take generic Advair 113/14mcg and my rescue inhaler I use almost 4 times a week. I’ve been out of work since then because I can’t breathe, I was taken to the hospital from work in an ambulance for an asthma attack and left home by ambulance multiple times for asthma attacks. It’s 6 months now and I feel like I’m never going to get better, trying to keep hope. Praying everyday to be healed. The doctor said it takes time, how much? We don’t know exactly but he did say up to a year.
I’ve been having long Covid symptoms for a year already I’m still having a lot of symptoms like shortness of breath headaches chest pain dizziness and fatigue memory loss confusion I’m having some heart pain heart palpitations I’m on a heart holter I was diagnosed with Pulmonary embolism on April 30th of this year I’m on blood thinners prior to Covid I was a really healthy 27 year old now I feel like a 80 year old person I feel sick every single day I’m tired of being sick all the time I sometimes can’t take it anymore I want to be my old self again 😪😪😪😪
I had COVID-19 last month and felt better after 30 days. However, I still have fatigue and anosmia. Can’t wait to fully recover! I had severe symptoms: shortness of breath and now chest pain/ pressure! Crazy virus
anyone have anything that has helped them? I have SOB, dizziness, headaches, vison got worse, body feels weak.. it'll be 2 years in march and doctors still haven't found anything. .it sucks. every time I end up in the ER they send me home because my vitals are fine but i can't breathe and feel like i;'m gong to pass out, this is horrible.
I caught Covid early in March 2020. Took me a few weeks to get over the acute infection stage but I Still have legacy symptoms now, it’s very weird, I have good periods and bad periods. When I’m good, I can go cycling, swimming, hill walking pretty much as I used to do pre Covid. However, when I’m bad, I’m totally fatigued, muscle aches similar to those you get when you have flu, chest pain, mild breathing issues & I can hardly get off the sofa for a few days. Like I say, weird. But, I remain positive, I’m still here, plenty of unfortunate folk out there aren’t…
@@MelB868 drink lime/and water and raw salads for extra energy..stay warm....put a hot water bottle on your chest..chop up a raw garlic clove and drink it down with lots of water ..eat first becuase garlic lowers blood pressure..garlic kills worms and germs and treats tb..inhale the heat from the stove warm up the air you breath..
@@shaft657 Hi thx for the message. Good news is I appear to be slowly improving, still get the episodes of fatigue but they appear to be getting further apart :)
I'm fully vaccinated and had covid a month ago. Though I recovered but I experience recurring symptoms such as phelgm, sore throat which brought on coughing, shortness of breath and asthma. Is this normal? I had asthma comes and goes every few days
I am still recovering from Covid..Had it 3 weeks ago. My immune system is very weak and my blood work came up abnormal after. I am very sad because my husband saw me fighting for my life and he is angry at me because I ask him to take off his clothes after coming from the store. I cried and he just kept going on about how I am exaggerating and stuff.
This is horrible, there is nothing exagerated to try and keep yourself healthy, going through it right now and no help from anyone, be safe and take care of yourself
Caught Covid December 22, 2022. Somedays I can mow the yard with no problem and somedays i push the mower for 5 minutes and I have to stop. My heart races and I feel anxiety. After 5 minutes of rest I can mow for 5 minutes again and repeat. Yes, this is real and I don’t know how to fix it.🥺
I just recently recovered from Covid. Got Covid on January 2 but mild. 2 weeks on isolation. Tested negative by January 14. After a week, now i easily get tired even i am just walking. i still cough and there are some phlegm so im still taking meds. I alwqys feel feverish but i dont have a fever. My chest kinda hurt, sometimes. It gives me anxiety and stress that sometimes i cannot sleep. I also feel shaky sometimes like i have a mild panic attack. I was diagnosed with anxiety and oanic attack before and through therapy, ans medications i overcome it however it feels like i am having it again. I also kinda lost my appetite and always have acid reflux.
Dont eat to much wine, salty and sugary it triggers caughing here in phil we drink lemon juice or kalamansi without sugar, ginger hot or cold as home remedy , you have to sneeze and clean your nose everyday and smell methol eucalyptus it can help you breath
