Still having chest tightness 3 weeks out from covid

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. It’s so comforting to know that I am not alone and theirs others out there sharing the issues as we are.
Today was one of those days. Mentally got up with a good mind set and was looking forward to watching golfing in the tube. All I did was a load of laundry, made my bed and watered a few potted plants I have outside. At 9:30 am I was so tired and weak I had to sit down and rest. I’ve done this routine numerous times before in the prior weeks of covid but was okay. Today it was like for no reason, i barely did anything. Frustrating as heck. I like you, love to walk and exercise but get gun shy with thoughts that I may just collapse somewhere. I committed myself to stay home bound for at least two weeks and only to go out for essential or doctor’s.
I just walk in my small yard to get some kind of exercise, though little as it is it’s something. One day at a time, one step at a time.
Thank you for responding
We’re going to be fine. New developments on the science of treating Post Covid Syndrome on the horizon. Keep the faith

Sorry, I started writing, then the page disappeared, so I’ll start over.
Like you, some days I’d wake up feeling pretty good but out of nowhere, I’d get congested and short of breath which would last all day. Or I’d start getting heart irregularities and feel lousy all day. But the last couple of days have been pretty good. Still short of breath on my walks but feel like I recovered faster. I hope I’m turning a corner 🤞but with this COVID you never know where else it’s lurking. It’s been 3 months now so hoping for the best. Hope this gives you a little encouragement - 3 months seems like a long time but others have been suffering for much longer. I can just suggest not to push your body too much and rest when you need to. Keep the faith and hang in there.
