Yup. You've probably still got a fair bit of inflammation... I'm afraid I was worse with the post-viral Covid than during the initial couple of weeks of the actual virus. Just try and take things as easy as possible, and keep remembering you're still recovering.

Am the same. About day 16 and feel ill again today. Tight chested. Fatigued. Is this normal?

Yes normal, mine came in waves
The classic cough, lack of taste and smell cleared in about a week. I felt fine.
Then ten days of headaches.
I began to feel like I was on the mend.... then extreme tiredness and diarrhoea.
Fortunately all pretty mild for me but it's a frustratingly persistent illness.

My GP told me it was a 21 day illness abd people often feel worse around day 8-10. That’s exactly how it played out for me, took me 3 weeks to recover. Yesterday was day 21 and i was shattered! Just takes time I think.
Even now I’m coughing up the odd bit of gunk, which I wasn’t before.
