“COVID ”
Hello, I have COVID-19. I first had symptoms on Wednesday and tested positive on Friday. I’ve been having trouble taking deep breaths, especially if I’m standing or sitting up. This morning I was feeling better and I got up and cleaned my floor for a couple minutes but then started having a tightness in my chest. My pulse ox is still 100% so I don’t know if I should be concerned or not. My pulse has been really high since I first started feeling sick (usually over 90bpm). I had a fever on Friday but haven’t since then and I’ve been sleeping and hydrating a lot. I don’t have any previous medical history

Thanks for the question. Chest tightness can be an asthmatic response to the infection, pleurisy (inflammation of lining tissue of luungs), myocarditis from the virus itself, or an actual heart attack. Please see your doctor as soon as possible. If it worsens or recurs, call 911!
