Covid Lungs 40 plus plus plus

[SimpleKindofLife]

New thread for those having longer symptoms of Covid.

Underarm pain is back
Watch this space

Hopefully it's a small blip.

@Crayfishforyou

I’ve been getting occasional aches under my arms and in my groin. It’s my understanding that the glands there can swell as you continue to fight off a virus.

The pain under my arms isn't as bad as it has been, I was just hoping I was post viral with nothing left to fight off.

Is anyone's hayfever bad at the moment?

How did everyone's start, this evening I suddenly have a headache with a sore throat and irritating cough. I work in the nhs so am exposed and probably overthinking it!

As this thread is filling up could I suggest a new title of just "50+". I've just checked and lungs 7 is still going for anyone in the early stages. And a link please. I got very lost last time. smileHopefully the next 1,000 posts will see many of us posting more positive recovery stories."

I'm happy to start a new thread! Would be good to keep it to people who are all of the same time period so have a number that includes most of us here. I think a few regular posters are under Day 50? I'm Day 48. I could put Day 49 Plus as that's exactly 7 weeks for those measuring in weeks?

@Crayfishforyou I have developed underarm pain and sore on my chest under my collar bone. Sore to touch. Week 7 😩

@cheninblanc
Sore eyes, dizziness and not wanting to drink wine. That last one is pretty serious, I generally would never turn down a glass.
I wouldn't have thought it was covid if DH hadn't have come down with a splitting headache, temperature and cough.
The other symptoms came on gradually during the week.

Hi, I've had Covid at it took me quite a while to start to feel better. As of today, I've started feeling really cold with a headache and sore throat/swollen glands.

Has anyone else had this? Hope you're all feeling well soon.

Update on my being in A&E:

They discharged me early this morning from A&E, I was kept in there overnight (partially) but not formally admitted. That's because after 5 hours plus on oxygen, with them lowering the amount, my oxygen saturation levels stabilised. I had to do a lap around A&E with a doctor and my pulse reader, to check that exercise didn't cause my levels to dip.

They didn't do an other wrist artery test in the end because of my oxygen levels improving - thanks PPs who gave advice on that.

They wrote a letter to my GP which I took home asking them to check on me in a week, and they told me to come straight back to A&E if I worsen.

I do feel better (than yesterday) today. The nurse said that sometimes people just need a kickstart with some oxygen to get their breathing going properly again. I don't have asthma or any or breathing problems previously.

What concerns me though is that any exertion, even walking to the next room, makes me feel exhausted and a bit breathless. Also as it turns into evening now, I can feel my feelings of chest constriction coming on.

@Egghead68 I saw you posted that you had slightly elevated troponin levels suggesting possible heart damage? Me too. Only one number above what's normal but it's been noted. My ECG was fine though.

@DandyPeguin that's interesting, thanks for updating. I am glad they got you stabilised but really do not hesitate to go back if you feel you need to.

My symptoms always flare in the evening too but usually subside around midnight so I can sleep. A real improvement on a couple of weeks ago when I had regular horrendous nights.

I'm on week 7 now. Most symptoms have passed but I'm still breathless, lungs hurt as do kidneys and my wee is still bright yellow. I've been taking Chinese herbs in lieu of anything else to try to sort kidneys out. What is the hardest to deal with is the exhaustion.. I'm totally shattered all the time.. and I've not gone back to work yet. But still I'm struggle through each day in a haze of brain fog. Wondering if this will carry on for much longer.. I'm so tired and down about it that i keep crying, can't seem to help myself.

@Dandyish I am glad you are out of hospital and feeling a bit better with the oxygen.

Can I be nosy and ask what your troponin level was and what the doctors said about it? I am sorry you have this problem too. My ECG was fine too.

Document about post corona viral issues

Sorry Dandyish - I see you have answered part of my question already. I guess one number above normal (which I understand is between 0 and 0.4 ng/mL) means your troponin was the same as mine at 0.5. I’d still be very interested to know what they said about this.

Thank you very much for the document @resisterance. It’s really helpful.

@Dorual my hay fever is playing up, but symptoms are different to usual and I have been having asthma type symptoms rather than the usual blocked nose,itchy eyes etc. Which haven’t appeared at all. It is always much worse after being outside and during the recent rain period I had no symptoms at all so definitely pollen related. I am assuming because I have had inflamed windpipe with virus the pollen is causing a stronger reaction to usual and hoping the tight chest is allergy rather than another relapse.

@Dandyish would be brilliant if you could start a new thread.

I started the 40+ thread on about day 35 myself.

I'm just not sure if Hayfever is causing these symptoms. But can it cause actual low grade fever? I'm sinusy and headachey and ave tp keep clearing my throat. But it has been raining half the day, so maybe it isn't.

@Lightsabre glad that helped and it does get easier. Just don't push it, if you body gives off any warning it's better to stop and rest up.

@Tramolamodol I had some of the cold feeling but not significant, but the sore/constricted throat and glands has been really annoying. Others have reported similar symptoms and I've been lucky that the headache seems to come and go and the throat does seem to be slowly getting better. What day are you you on?
