It's funny you mentioned that because that thought had crossed my mind. I actually contacted my doctor about it today and this was his response: "Thus far, you have zero evidence of lung disease or heart disease so despite your subjective shortness of breath, this will likely have no bearing on severity of illness should you contract covid- 19. overall, young people your age develop mild symptoms (common cold; mild flu) and you should not be concerned."
So while I'm sure the SOB won't make things any more fun... it doesn't really fall into the category of being an underlying respiratory issue. It seems like most people in this thread have ruled out serious heart/lung issues and are exploring other causes such as GERD, anxiety, and breathing method. I'll be doubling up on the hand washing nonetheless!
