What helps post COVID shortness of breath?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (95)Comment receiving replies
Hello!
I am 5 weeks post Covid and my symptoms are lingering, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, headaches and irritability. I am also recovering from pneumonia from Covid.
When I was first diagnosed with covid the Doctor at the Urgent Care advised me to seek the monoclonal antibodies before my symptoms got worse. I addressed this to my Primary Care Doctor and he said “NO” no explanation.
Well…I got worse-pneumonia…
I believe there is only a short window in the beginning of Covid when you can receive treatment.
I could be wrong, because I’m not a professional. I only know from my experience, and in my city as of the beginning of 2022 the antibodies were not available from one of the major healthcare systems I’m affiliated with.
I’ve been in the ER with an abnormal EKG as well. I’ve been on 3 rounds of steroids and I’m on an inhaler which causes me to have tacacardia.
Im still unable to work and I’m starting to feel depression because there is no treatment and I’m told to rest and I’ll feel better soon.
Are you on any steroids or an inhaler?
I hope you can pull through start to feel better.

I am two weeks past covid and also have Lupus. It feels like a "flare" of the autoimmune issues. Shortness of breath and lethargy (!!??) continue. I use an inhaler. There is a 10 day window for monoclonal antibodies, I found out, from the covid tracking person.
i am 9 months out from covid pneumonia- 21 days in hospital. i was on steroids for 5 months. i have been on oxygen for 9 months. i caught covid in june and didnt start seeing any teal improvement until dec. the point is be patient. be sure to check your sugar as steroids really wreck havot. try quercitin with zinc . that helped me. its over the counter
