Thread 2 Feel like my chest is on fire

[Casino218]

The other thread looked like it ended I know folks wanted a second thread.

I think I'm now day 13

Chest still heavy. Cough disappeared. I'm hoping it's on it's way now

*Porcupine’ definitely isolate as study has shown digestive symptoms can be the first which is why this is spreading so much,

Just joining, Hope everyones ok, day 3 but did have a bit of breathlessness earlier in the week. Symptoms are:

-Dry cough now and again
-Weird chest/lung pain sort of like breathing in on a freezing morning or heartburn, that comes and goes
-Breathlessness, just breathing more deeply and noticing it after climbing the stairs

Only thing I'm not sure about is lack of a temperature, is this not the main symptom? Don't have a proper medical thermometer, it's around 36.5 but I don't rate it's reliability.

I don't know who that person is in this YouTube clip and neither do you? He doesn't even say.

@Parkandride I don't have a temp either but everything else yes.

Oh dont worry, I am. My tongue has got the most extraordinary greenish white coating. Anyone else had anything like that?

Re medicines. Advice from gov.uk instead of crackpot YouTuber!

It states what to do in this nhs corovirus link. One of those is take paracetamol

I’ve posted on the other thread but just to say I’m now 4 weeks in, lungs keep feeling as though theyre getting better then two days later the awful burning and exhaustion comes back for a few more days. I’m asthmatic and have had one course of antibiotics. I didn’t take the prescribed steroids due to the advice around NSAIDS. Wondering when it’s going to end!

@YouAreTheEggManIAmTheWalrus
4 weeks in wow. You must have been one of the first cases

I have a slight sore throat for 3 days and occasional runny eyes, no fever. A little prickly in the throat, nothing much but definitely something new. Occasional cough but have had a cough for over 2 months.
Had a surprise single round of diarrhea the day before yesterday.
Is this the beginning of something?

@Mango possibly the start of something. Sounds similar to how I started but I'm not sure what it is Ive started with. After my first bout of diarrhoea I had a day of feeling fine then it came back and I was wiped out with chills. I think you will just have to wait and see but if you can self isolate, I would do so.

@MangoesAreMyFavourite my DH started with diarrhoea. He never gets that. Then he came down with rest of symptoms. He hasn't really had a cough though but high temps he has.

My symptoms are different - temperature, nausea, headache initially (when temperature was highest) and tiredness Also, lightheadiness. Cough stopped when temperature started. I still feel, a week on, I lack motivation to do anything. Still have slight temperature, 37.5-38, rather than reaching 40.

Asthmatics should not be stopping their preventative medacation. Good control of asthma is paramount in your bodies ability to fight Covid-19. See medscape advice below.

There’s not enough evidence about inhaled steroids either way. As I don’t have severe asthma I’m giving myself and child the best chance to fight this without inhibiting the immune response. However some cases of flu are fatal because the immune system over reacts, so steroids are helpful.

But it’s ultimately my decision and will only be a few weeks at most. I only stopped when it was getting worse.

I'm asthmatic 111 told me to take steroids. Chest is so heavy and tight. I'm 34 and haven't been hospitalised in years and I am freaking out that it will get worse. Been like this since Thursday / Friday. Hoping it gets better soon. I saw my mum last Sunday. Terrified I might have given it to her as she has COPD. Hoping not if my symptoms came out towards end of the week x

Hi all,

Here's the latest from
NHS Coronavirus information and Advice from Public Health England

Please make sure you keep up to date with official information.

I feel a good bit better today.
But still running temp and not wearing a bra.

Keep getting very tired though and conking out.

On day 3 and feel like it's really gone to my chest, feel really woozy and light headed. I've got a cpad machine for sleep apnoea which seems to help. My mouth is really sore aswell.

Sorry day 2! Also temp is coming and going.

May I join please as I've just had a lightbulb moment!
I've been feeling sick for a few days and have had a "tight bra band" feeling... similar to baby pressing on diaphragm when pregnant) but only mildly
Last Thursday I had one violent cough which made me vomit out of nowhere) and also throat constriction
Temp has been 35.9-36.6 No fever

I have also had random Diahorrea and heartburn but put that down to Tomato sandwiches!

Morning all
Day 5 here. Had a really crappy night, shaking with chills, burning chest then a really nasty episode of breathlessness. Luckily I have an spo2 meter so I could tell that I could breath even though it felt as though I couldn't.

Felt better from 7, trying to eat a piece of toast and rest waiting for it a to ramp up again later.

Hope you are all improving.
