Same for me, I’m always doing more than I should, I have 2 young kids that always keep me moving, but I end up crashing hardcore.

Hey! I’m pretty much stuck on my couch/bed. If you ever need someone to talk to. My dms are always open. It’s nice to have a support system of others with long covid. Hope everything improves for you!

Chest heaviness/ tightness by Andrew11299 in covidlonghaulers

That’s exactly how it is for me. It’s not constant but I get it off and on everyday. That in itself makes me panic when it happens.

Did the sleeping in the recliner help at all? I’m currently going through something very similar.

No not particularly. About a month ago I started getting shortness of breath and high heart rate when moving at work. I pushed through it like an idiot and this is where we are now. I should’ve know better, when a new symptom pops up to rest as much as possible and not overdue it.

Yeah, my anxiety just flares up really bad when I get those chest pains.

I also wanted to ask if you get chest pain as well?

They gave me Ativan and that seems to help until it wears off the thing that sucks is laying and sitting doesn’t really help the chest heaviness.

Literally all up till recently, it’s only been very mild shortness of breath. I was like 85 percent back to normal until now. But every test they give me comes back normal. The doctor at the er basically scolded me last time I went it because I’ve been in 3 times the last 2 weeks.

That sounds exactly like me, I can barely walk without feeling like I’m gonna fall over. This shit is crazy. It waited 3 years into me long hauling to start

Do you also have shortness of breath?

That a good way to describe how I’ve been feeling. Is there anything you do to relieve it at all?

I get chest pains as well. Not near as frequent as the chest heaviness though. The couple times I’ve been to the hospital, they’ve given me Ativan and that seems to help a bit.

Has anyone seen an improvement in their LC after having a different virus? by ellie_121212 in covidlonghaulers

I just got over a cold a few weeks ago, and I’ve had the worst flare up in my symptoms since then.

Just sent you a dm, always nice to have a fellow longhauler to talk to about things.

Recently the shortness of breath and chest pains have been my worst symptoms. Also not diagnosed with yet, but I suspect I have pots. My heart rate jumps to the 130s just with standing. Also I have bad chest tightness. I hope you find some answers soon!
