My breathing is all of a sudden too shallow. I walk 10 feet and I’m gassed. Doing anything with exertion and my chest feels like it’s going tp blow out.
I’ve had bradycardia ( slow heartbeat ) as long as I can remember - pulse readings in the mid 50s to 60s.
My pulse is now in the 80s,90s and sometimes hundreds.
My oxygen range used to be 95-98 range. It’s dipped as low as 80 and is now in the 90-94 range.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Oh man... is this not miserable?? I’m having high pulse still, low grade fever, energy is slowly coming back. But even walking upstairs was like doing 30 min of cardio.

Your mental description was exactly like my neighbor described his chyna virus though.

Sorry about the weight loss. I lost 10 lbs, 30 would make me look like a talking skeleton lol. 💀

Prayers for your continued healing.

I’ve been praying for you (and all of FR suffering thru this) as you described your hellish “adventure”.
Seems like all of a sudden a lot of people - especially here -got whacked around the holidays.

Interesting thing...I have a foot pedal exerciser and i can work that thing all day - no troubles.
I get up and start walking ?...holy mackerel. I have shortened my stride and that seems to help.

Sounds like we’re making slow progress, but progress none the less...
Hang in there.

Ugh, yes, part of the club. I came down with something 1st week of January. I was visiting someone in the hospital over a course of 3 days. I ate a salad and initially suspected lysteria, but no vomiting or runs so probably probably hospital sourced Coof. A doctor who is a friend indicated that 80 people at that hospital were out with covid so I would not doubt it as the source.

I did have Ivermectin and used that right away. (And continued to use it..) Also used C, D, zinc and Tonic water and quercetin/bromulain, elderberry syrup. I used salt and baking soda gargles with several drops of potassium iodine.

I still felt lousy in spite of that. I did not want to eat, food did not smell or taste good; I medicated and lived on Pedialyte and coffee and soup for about a week dropping about 8 pounds. Afternoons I just laid in bed listening to Mrs. Pete surfing the internet. (Closed eyes trying to sleep; Clicking the keys....no clue what she was looking at but appreciated the company.) Normally in the past If I had Upper Respiratory Infection it was easy to look beyond it to a time when I would feel better. This was different...with this I was more drained and tired and it was hard to not have really negative dark terminal thoughts that were hard to shake and wonder if this is the best I will ever feel again?

About 1 1/2 weeks ago I started taking Vicks severe cold remedy too, and added Xynase nasal spray. Had a loose clear phlegm that had greened up but now has pretty much dried up. (I suspect that I was suffering from Covid at the same time as somebacterial URI or Pneumonia.)

Still tired. Cant imagine having an appendectomy and this, Petey, or losing family like you C.t.C., at the same time you get hit with this. This was a totally wretched adventure in geriatric medicine.
