Symptoms worse after infectious period

I have started slowly testing lighter on lat flow. But I am feeling more tightness in my chest and more tired. Can it be that Covid gets worse after a week or so?

The original covid used to have a period around day 9 when your chest could get really bad. Check your oxygen levels if you have a finger sensor.
Call 111 if you are feeling breathless.
Hope you are feeling better soon Thanks

I have come on here to ask this too. I’m on day 16 and feeling as bad as I did on days 3-6. LF still positive too (did one yesterday out of curiosity).

My DS has just started showing new symptoms - I assumed he had it when we did and we all isolated etc. I am so done with this. He’s missed so much nursery, I’m massively behind with work, I’m struggling now. The thought of him being off for another week….

Same here. I'm day 16 and got lots worse on day 11. Lateral flows are still dark positive too. I feel horrendous still. Luckily my temp has now normalised so I've been able to go for fresh air but it's knocked me for six just walking around the block.
