I have felt horrendous the last couple of days so took myself to the GP who sent me to get a chest x-ray. Doctor in hospital decided a CT would be better and turns out I have scarring on my lungs from having had Covid. No treatment or cure. Oxygen in my blood is 97% which is good but I'm still freaking out.
I had extremely mild dose of Covid, tickly cough for a day and then a runny nose. I developed a persistent tickly cough in the weeks after infection, hence the GP visit plus over the weekend, I felt very unwell, woozy and quite faint. Was worried I was having a cardiac event or some kind of stroke.
I'm meant to go to a music performance this weekend and a flight to Scotland in November, now I'm struggling because of the fear of getting Covid again and maybe doing more damage if I got more scarring. Not even logical as I got it in September without having been anywhere apart from work and I was the only person I know to even get it so no idea where I picked it up. I know I can't live in a bubble.
I kinda wish now I'd never had the CT scan as I'd have been blissfully unaware of there being an issue.
How do I stop freaking out in the wee hours of the morning and lying here unable to sleep?
