I got sick in march with covid-like symptoms but could not get tested.
I have also experienced being out of breath when climbing stairs or walking. I also started to worry and attribute other symptoms like headache to this, but then realized that :
- I spent 3 months at home without going out much
- I'm wearing a mask everytime I go out and I noticed that masks make breating harder
- I did not move much for 3 months and worked at home. This is significantly less than my usual 30 minutes of walk + 1h of transports + climbing stairs 4 times a day
- Only seeing the world through the news has a big negative psychological effect on me
Now it is just my humble experience. I am certainly not saying that people does not have symptoms and I only am one dot of incomplete data.
I just want to say that if you got sick and then experienced long terms effects, please don't forget about the radical life-style changes that you are experiencing before attributing everything to the virus.
Understanding this helped me to rebalance my daily routine and get and feel better.
- garganzol 6y agoDownvotes to your post are unwarranted. Western medical school tends to think that pulmonary fibrosis is incurable, despite the fact you have just provided a practical recipe for post-pneumonia rehabilitation. Probably what happens is a casual reader just sees a statement that says that "masks make breating harder" and gives you a downvote without further thought. This is what I call a comfortable ignorance. Kudos for finding the practical way out of this situation.
