Yes yes yes!! I have had this thing for 5 weeks now. And one thing that I saw last week is that my heart rate was between 100 and 120 for some time even when laying down (I got an oximeter early on). Right now I want to think I feel better, but it has been so many ups and downs with this virus, that I don't know what to think. As you very well say, this is no playing matter. I am sure my recovery will be long. If a normal Pneumonia takes so much time (a friend of mine had it last year and 1 year later he is still not 100% back), this virus will definitely take even more patience for the physiotherapeutic stage.

You be very careful please, if it has been going for that long and you are still not getting better then you may have a secondary infection going (further down, in your lungs) and you may not be getting enough O2. Please make sure you sleep front down so that your lungs can work better (the bulk of the active surface of your lungs is on your back), fluid will drain to the bottom and you may be able to get some more needed oxygen. Also, if possible, get tested, that way at least you are confirmed which might speed things up a bit by the time you need it. Be sure to tell your doctor about it (GP, assuming you have one) and to call EMS when you feel you are losing it. Calling EMS too late is in many cases a contributing cause for really bad cases or fatalities, there is no 'toughing this out' if your body can't cope. Best of luck!
