I have the Post Covid Fatigue and I am sleeping 10-11 hours at night and then some afternoons 2 -3 hours. I have found that if I get a sore throat I have done too much and it is followed by the tightness in the chest. It means I have overdone it and I need to lay down and rest or sleep until it goes away. It may take a day or two but it does goes away. All of my chest x-rays etc also came back normal. I found a post-Covid Clinic near me and have signed up and am on their wait list. You need to rest as much as possible. You don't want to push it to the point where your chest hurts because then you are not getting better your body is simply fighting off more of the symptoms. You want the symptoms to completely go away. The infectious disease doc put me on another anti-viral although it is too soon to see if it is working. I hope this helps and Good luck. You have to work with the energy you have and try not to go beyond it.

I normally have low energy due to a low number of red blood cells. But, after a 5 day bout of Covid I , too, am totally exhausted. I used to need 9 hrs. To feel my best, now it is 11. Plus I fall asleep soon after dinner while I’m reading or watching TV which I’ve never done. I don’t think I have any other post Covid symptoms, except maybe more than normal tight coughing at times. I do take a Solaray High Energy vitamin pill which seems to help but may be psychological. It didn’t dawn on me until today that this was related to Covid. I am 76 yrs. Old and figured I was really winding down quickly. Thank you so much for your comment ; I feel better just knowing that this could definitely be related to Covid. Good Luck to you.

that was me, enjoy, now I cant sleep. the sheer pain keeps me awake. I can no longer lay down...
