What helps post COVID shortness of breath?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (95)Comment receiving replies
I had Covid back in August of last year. I too had shortness of breath for quite a while with chest pain and other aches and pains that were not normal. My heart rate was high for 3 months. I am so sorry that you are having these issues. I found that Covid "attacks" the areas that you are weak in and ramps up any inflammation that you already had. It took me a few months to get past the extreme fatigue and I am still battling an issue from Covid that I cannot get answers too (8 months later). Sometimes, these issues just have to run their course and wear themselves out. Covid is brutal. I am praying for you. God Bless You!

Thank you for the kind words! It’s great to find a place to commiserate together, even when we can’t always find answers. I think my issues with long COVID are complicated by other preexisting health issues. I have severe scoliosis, hypothyroidism, damage from taking a fluoroquinolone antibiotic 13 years ago, and I’ve been through a repair and redo of a large paraesophageal hernia in the past 3 years. But I’m blessed to have a very supportive husband and that helps a lot. Best wishes, and may God bless you to find your own answers and healing.
