I’m really worried my doctor has missed something so I’d be really grateful to hear what other people think.
I had covid a few weeks ago. It was my third time having it and it seemed quite mild in comparison to my previous experiences. I don’t think I was really over having it the second time back last September as I’ve been quite lightheaded since then so I was surprised to have such few symptoms this time around. Then, 2+ weeks after the positive test I developed a chesty cough. I went to see the doctor last Friday who said I had tachycardia, low blood pressure and a peak flow of 130. They initially suggested a D Dimer but then changed their mind and prescribed antibiotics. I’ve been on the antibiotics for 4 days but I feel more breathless and have painful ribs on the right hand side and a tight chest. I feel dizzy and breathless whenever I do anything more than resting. I went back to the doctor today and my best peak flow was still 130. The doctor said this is likely due to covid and it could take 8 weeks to get better. I feel like something is really wrong but I don’t think the doctor will be happy with me calling them up again.
Am I just being unnecessarily anxious or should I be asking the GP for further checks?
