Hey cookiepic, Praying for you.

You can cough for quite a while after having COVID pneumonia and get winded easily. Once my bronchitis cleared up, my pneumonia cough was a dry cough and my chest hurt with it. Does that sound like you? I was beyond exhausted with it for quite a while. I had to learn to pace myself with simple things for about 3 months. I still battle Long Covid with fatigue....but not as severe as it was with the first time I contracted it in 2022 & then in 2023. It takes time to get over it for some people....others it is no more than a bad cold.

I am so sorry you are battling this ugly virus. Hugs & Prayers & Blessings...

Thank you for answering my post. The cough is dry and chest dies hurt some. I am a person with anxiety so that doesn't help. I sit and keep taking my oxygen level which has been around 93. Sometimes it goes up to 95. I considered my covid to be mild. I only had a fever for one day. No sore throat but very fatigued for the first 4 or 5 days. I went to the ER on the 5th day with my stomach not feeling right. I'm also in a flare with gastritis. They did numerous test to ease my mind. One being a ct scan with contrast. All was good. Only thing chest xray showed mild pneumonia in the lower lobes which was what was causing my funny stomach feeling. They gave me an antibiotic for 5 days. So I'm about a month out and still have the cough. No wheezing or rattling sound. Just a dry cough that's feels like a tickle in my throat. Did you have a check xray and if so get a recheck on it?
