Beginning of last week I came down with a heavy cold. I didn’t have corona symptoms so didn’t get tested. I started to feel better about four days ago, but the past two days, I have been feeling like breathing is taking effort. Odd sensation in my throat so I keep clearing it. I’m starting to get quite anxious and tearful about it. I phoned the doctor and they have booked me in for a blood test on Thursday. Thursday seems a long time away but I guess it’s also not bad enough to warrant a trip to a&e either, I’m not gasping for air, just very aware that breathing is harder and makes my throat feel odd. Has anyone had this? Is there anything I can do myself? Really worried I’m going to end up having anxiety attacks.
