Also if heart rate increases a lot to achieve 90%, or if heart / pulse is erratic.
None of this is good, so sorry.

For the people who have had the covid and had a hard time breathing....

Is there anything you did/were prescribed to help you breathe easier/better?

Need help/advice for a friend.

It helped my son to drink strong black hot coffee and steam from a shower.

I hope your friend feels better soon.

God I feel awful. I thought yesterday was bad, it's nothing in comparison to today. When you hear days 4 and 5 are the worst, believe it. Today's day 5.

Headache, congestion, 101 F temperature, raw throat, stomach cramps/bloating, night sweats, chills, fatigue, and a partridge in a pear tree. At least I'm not on a ventilator? Blood oxygen is 97% this morning.

I like to describe it as the lovechild of the flu, mono, and strep. The vicious lovechild

You have a sore throat? I think that's a rare symptom isn't it? Golly, you did get it rough. Hope by some miracle you will have day 6 without the fever at least. Fevers always make you feel more sickly.

Get an inhaler.

I'm so sorry Topo!! I hope you beat this thing off today. Got some chicken soup? It cures everything, right?

Does ramen count?

I can't stomach much else than vanilla ice cream. I had a grilled cheese sandwich yesterday and hoo boy, my stomach was angry.

Lay/sleep on my stomach, propped up by a few pillows. Sitting in a hot bath or taking a hot shower also helped.

Lying on your belly SHOULD help. The doctors often write orders to "encourage the patient to lie prone." Easier said than done when you feel lousy.

Definitely stay hydrated. Eat what you can. Most importantly, get better!
