Symptoms getting worse - anyone else?

[MooPointCowsOpinion]

I’ve been dry coughing for a few days now, not really felt like I have a temperature, just decided to ride it out and look after myself. This morning I have started coughing up gunk, my chest is even tighter and I get out of breath really quickly. I don’t want to be a burden on 111, and my own GP is closed. I am still ok to ride it out and look after myself aren’t I? I’m young and healthy usually and I don’t want to take up any resources for those who need it.

I think you should both be seen urgently. Please xx

People need to stop typing 'terrifying'

Don't make things worse for ill people than they already are.

You must call 999 if you can't breathe properly no matter how young you are etc. If you've developed pneumonia the sooner it's treated the better.

The whole point of being on lockdown is so less people get ill and we have resources to go round to help the ones that do -GET HELP IF YOU NEED IT 💐🛌🙏

I called again, they came out again, oxygen levels are lower, blood pressure is higher, heart rate is higher and over 100 pretty much all the time now. They still can’t do anything, they said if they took me to the hospital they would get shouted at and told to take me back, I wouldn’t even make it off the ambulance. My chest was checked more thoroughly this time and they couldn’t hear any crackles.
I’m not calling again now, unless I turn blue, there is nothing anyone can do.

This is what the GP told me too moo. Sorry. Honestly come over to the lungs are burning part 3 thread there are well over 20 people there experiencing it with us.

I have the squits again its horrific that i can handle that better than everything else

Have been following the thread, thinking of you both and hoping you turn a corner toward recovery very soon. Xx

Try lying on your front if you haven’t already, it’s much easier on your lungs.

Lots of love to you both - I am so upset for both of you and for everyone else who is feeling this bad. I hope you both feel better soon, and I too don’t understand why they won’t take you in to look after you and to help you feel less alone.

Lots of love 💖💖💖💖💖.

I’m also sending love to you both, every day you keep getting through is one closer to when you are fully recovered xx

Oh my goodness this sounds absolutely awful. What am absolutely hideous virus.

Wishing those that are unwell a super speedy recovery. Big big hugs 💕💕💕

Oh dear, I found this thread late last night, and keep checking in to see how everyone is doing, I hope you all start to feel better soon x

Lots of people thinking of you both. Im thinking of slow even breaths and calm minds for you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. ♥️💐

What kind messages. I slept for the first time without gasping for air and waking up. Slept from 2am-8am which is the longest stretch ive had for a week. Im truly hoping I’ve turned a corner now.
Hope you’re a bit better this morning @MooPointCowsOpinion

@TheDrsWife46 I hope you have turned a corner ❤

I feel so sorry for what you are going through. My heart goes out to you both. What you are going through sounds truly horrific and I am so shocked that it isn't sufficient to warrant hospitalisation. It makes you wonder how bad the people are who have been hospitalised.

I truly hope you are starting to recover and will soon be feeling a lot better.

Sending best wishes to you both. Hoping for more progress each day and the returning of good health

Agree with lying on your front. Also any position where your head is lower than your heart, so a seated forward bend. Some yoga postures can help with breathing. Having said that, I'm obviously not medically trained and don't know how that would affect your other symptoms, cough, etc. But possibly worth trying cautiously?

A forward bend is also calming, so may help with the anxiety that naturally accompanies a situation like this.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

How is everyone today? hope you are ok moopointcowsopinion

Sending get well wishes to you both.

@TheDrsWife46 fingers crossed you've turned a corner. Sleep is so vital in recovery.

I havent heard from moo, on either thread and ive dm’d her too. I am feeling very poorly but from the chills and nausea and not breathing. Oximeter shows sats as 98%

Fighting not to be sick and feel like im going to have diarrhoea again. Thank you so much for any good wishes. Im in a very bleak place right now

Scary reading, I can only imagine. Sounds awful so just focus you've managed this far. If it gets worse you call 999 and in the meantime hang in there 💪 keep posting as you're able, we'll keep you company :)

@TheDrsWife46 feel so bad for you right now, those sats are good news but nausea is an awful feeing so sorry you are having to go through that as well. Keep thinking of all the lovely things you can look forward to in better health, imagine all your favourite places and the warm sun on your face. Better days are coming, keep going 💪🏻

Sorry I’ve been sleeping on and off all day, tiredness has got me. I keep waking up gasping, then having a coughing fit so I’m only sleeping in 1/2 hour bursts. I’m glad it’s not just me with stomach ache, my stomach has been cramping really badly like I’ve got food poisoning for about 24 hours now. I don’t want to eat anything in case it hurts even more!
Scared to sleep right now, I don’t want to wake up feeling like I’ve got no air. I’m trying to watch Netflix to distract myself.
Tomorrow is going to be the day I wake up and feel better...

Yes tomorrow is almost here and you'll be on the up!

Oh @MoopointCowsOpinion I truly hope so for both of us. Ive had the squits again tonight. But I refuse to indulge the anxiety of it today. The oximeter shows that my sats are good so im taking two Kalms Nighttime to atfempt a normal nights sleep. Im petrified, that i’ll poo myself, that my breathing will worsen etc but I need to trust that the oximeter is good and to TRY to secure some rest in order to heal.

Tomorrow i need 20 pairs of socks tho because i CANNOT get warm!
