• Day 9 of symptoms.
    Woke up much more comfortable, temp was almost normal, 37.2 ish.
    Lungs feel really tired, still coughing, very out of breath.
    Can't really speak too long without feeling out of breath.

    Wife called GP for a sick note, and we've both been referred for further assessment.
    Assessment said that breathing difficulties often come in about 10-12 days after initial symptoms, and that we should monitor O2 levels 3 times a day.
    And that if it drops to 92 or less, to call 999.

    :/

  • oh man, hope you feel better.
    Sounds like you are on the mend.

    How are you managing childcare?

  • Hope you're doing okay - you're doing everything right.

    This is what I was told too, although I was in better condition than you the doc said it can still take a dive. Other advice was not to lie on my back and to do constricted breathing exercises, deep breath in, hold, release etc.

    Hope you’re both on the mend soon.

  • In my case, I had a chest infection that required antibiotics and still not right. Sinuses are blocked and nose breathing is an issue.

    Started on the sudafed, proper stuff and going to wash my sinuses out.

    Fingers crossed you will not have o2 levels drop.
