I have had Covid twice now. The second one started April 5, and has totally knocked me for a loop. My breathing is very bad, with SOB and severe congestion, plus fatigue. I was put on Dexamethasone for 10 days high dose, then tapered down to one pill per day ending yesterday. The medicine greatly helped, but made my ankles swell up. This was prescribed by another Pulmonologist 100-miles away, that deals with Covid, and was recommended by this site, and I am thankful to have found him. So, today I went to my regular Pulmonologist with a follow-up appointment, and you can hear me gasping for air through thick congestion and wheezing. I told him that since the steroid has run out, I feel like I am suffocating. He told me I should go see a Psychiatrist! What the heck? Here I am in this horrid condition, and he says that to me. He said he suggests this to his patients periodically if he feels the client is having a panic attack. This is NOT a panic attack! It is a Covid attack! I left there very upset, in fact, my entire family is now upset, and for that I am sorry. Maybe he is mad that I went to another doctor? All I know is that today has not been a good one. He won't prescribe Prednisone, which is something most doctors prescribe for Covid and breathing difficulties. I have called the other doctor so far away, hoping he can help me. Thank-you, for listening, and hoping no-one else ever gets treated this way, especially when they can hardly breathe!
