Shortness of breath

I have a mild cough but the main reason I got a test today was that I have a constant feeling of pressure in my chest and feel breathless at times. I feel absolutely fine other than that but never had this chest pressure before. Did anyone else have this as a symptom of COVID?

I understand its a very common symptom. A colleague has suffered badly with this.
Hope you're feeling better soon x

Lots of people report that. Hope you feel better soon.

A good call Louby - I have had a tightness in my chest with it like a tight band but didn’t have a cough. My partner had a tiny cough though. Don’t worry but take it easy x

Yes, I had tightness of chest and chest pain on day 1, followed by shortness of breath on day 3.
I still have shortness of breath 8 months later at odd times (i.e hardly any physical exertion)
My cough was hardly an issue, just an annoying little cough for an hour a day.

Thanks for all your comments and wishing speedy recoveries to those still suffering. I will await my result. Fingers crossed

@Loubylou79 I hope you don't have it and if you do, I hope its a quick, non lasting effect type.
