Feel so ill!

[Upthecreek04]

I got a positive lft this morning and already feel really ill.

Appetite gone, so very thirsty, fuzzy head, aching limbs etc.

It's my chest that worrying me it hurts so much, really aching, breathing seems such an effort. When I lay down its slightly better.

I can't speak a sentence.

Is this normal??

I'm double jabbed plus booster, although my BMI is nearly 40 so that's got me a bit worried. I'm late 30s in terms of age

I was debating buying an oximeter but my husband says it will just be anxiety inducing always checking it. But I don't feel I can get a deep breath.

Anyone whose has covid is this normal please?

How are you feeling @Upthecreek04?

Hi all I seem to have turned a corner and feel a bit better now thankfully!

We got an oximeter and my sats were 97 which is reassuring

My breathing seems to have steadied now and Ive managed to potter about a little.

Thanks to everyone 🙂

To the OP (I know you said you're feeling better now) and anyone else reading feeling so short of breath.
You absolutely need to get checked out.

A pulmonary embolism quite often comes with covid.
I've spent all day scanning covid patients ruling out/confirming a PE.
They're a medical emergency and you're not wasting NHS time double checking.

Sounds like your anxiety flared up and has now settled. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Wonderful news

Phew. What a relief. I was really concerned by your posts. Hope you are still doing ok?

That’s a good update @Upthecreek04

Hope you continue to improve🎄
