Post Covid chest tightness, pressure in throat, dizziness, SOB

Thank you for sharing this. I was a healthy 40- 41 year old before this. I would work 12+ hours a day 6 days a week in a physically demanding job before this. I have had a similar resting heart rate of 115. If I lay down, my heart rate will go back down to 80-90. On the days I don't feel good, my heartrate will go from 80-90 to 145-150 just walking 15' feet to the bathroom or kitchen. I have been hesitant to go to the emergency room because of being judged that is all in my head. It is so hard to know how much to do in a day, without going backwards for so many days. A good day for me is now 4-5 hours of light work or deskwork. You are not alone.

Thank you for your reply. I thank God for my wonderful, patient, understanding husband. I believe this to shall pass. Hang in there I know this is scary. Many nights when I went to bed I questioned if I was going to wake up.
This surely makes you think differently ( I am not referring to brain fog, that comes and goes) i'm referring to my appreciation of life and my realization that life is short, enjoy every day, every moment. I no longer feel alone as thousands of people have came forward with similar issues. I am getting better. I have to take my time and ease into anything physical tennis, gym etc. You take care of yourself and be kind to yourself.
