Interesting post. I live in WI and got covid late Feb/early early March 2020 . I could not get tested because my symptoms were not severe enough. However my mother who was 90 got tested once she was admitted to hospital. I now suffer from pressure in my left chest and what feels like bronchial congestion/irritation. In the beginning it was mostly a pressure on my left side so was checked out for heart issues with a stress test, and echo. As time went along it seemed to include my bronchial tubes and some wheezing. This started about April of this year (21); and I have an appt with a pulmonary specialist in a month after just having a pulmonary function test. I never thought of covid because my symptoms were irregular heart beat and a temp of only 99.9 for 1 day and in total it lasted only 3 days and that symptoms started over a year later (4/21). Oddly, during this time I also had like a 4month but f what appeared to be TMJ, very strange. That eventually went away and I've not had issues in the last 3 months. But again with TMJ and the jaw joints getting inflamed...I thought about covid given I never had it before, or grind my teeth, or clench them, these symptoms just showed up and (eventually) left. I did go on anti-inflammatory meds for 2 weeks... I have been setting up the testing myself, while looking new PCP as mine has retired. Bujt I do not think most PCP's have much experience w' long covid? I also am hoping that it is nothing more serious, but it has reduced my time out walking...Good luck on making progress on this...Since your husband was also early in covid and does not meet protocol; curious if a positive anti-body test would help?
