Haven’t gotten covid but know three people in different cities and states that still are going through the fatigue after they’ve recovered. It’s very real. I’m praying for you guys who are going through this and am so sorry you’re not feeling well. 🙏🏽😔.

Took me 2 years to turn the corner, still have some problems breathing. Hang in there everyone, if your like me you feel robbed but we are fighting the fight of our lives.

Just wait a few more years and we'll get commercials like this: "Were you an essential worker during the 2020 pandemic? If you or a loved one suffered permanent damage to your body due to the virus you may be entitled to compensation."

I was never tested positive for covid. But I'm almost positive that I had it. I got sick in March last year and I've been fatigued since, I lost 34 pounds (a lot for a 17-year-old who has always been on the small side) I still don't have an appetite. I get tired so easily. I'm so sick and tired of people not taking this seriously. I'm not even graduated from highschool and I've been heavily impacted. My daily routine has been permanently altered.

I had Covid over two years ago. I’ve been having chest pain initially exercising and get winded with the slightest exertion. Had PFT, lung scan, chest X-ray, nuclear, and checked for Pulmonary Edema; everything was good. My PFT was in the 100% category. I’m 56 now and have been a runner and vertical hiker most of my life. A veteran of 26 years in the Army. Had Covid, can’t run at all anymore. Fell into long bouts of depression but trying to hang in for my kiddos.

Be safe everyone. I'm 31 and had covid three weeks ago. I tested negative a week ago but I now have shortness of breath, fatigue, spikes in my bpm, and random migraines and dizziness. Again be safe.

This is such a bad feeling to feel breathless after 1 year.One day u r fine and next day u r back to same situation.

[jackmudau]

We need reports on how this can be treated instead of videos showing how people are suffering those only makes it worse for long haulers.

[lunawolfking]

this is my second week back at work after my covid quaranteen. im glad im not doing as bad as these people but the exhaustion is real. going to get back into wearing my apple watch to keep track of my heart rate. this is not just the flu. the flu doesnt cause long lasting effects like this

[GodsOath_com]

Because the virus actually lives in muscles wherever there is Inflammation. This is why the heart is impacted.

[Him-_-foot]

This is me now … got diagnosed on 9/7/21 spent 3 weeks in ICU finally home after told I may not make it just got home and my life has drastically changed … im short of breath all the time .. heart rate immediately elevated just putting on socks ….

[meghanaurdhwareshe]

Me too! Just recovered from my infection! The fatigue is exhausting and yes i have to set a timer to try and eat! I also lost 10 pounds in a week, because I couldn’t bring myself to eat. I hope they figure out why its happening.

[melissaanderson]

My husband has been experiencing really odd symptoms since getting Covid back in 0ct 2020. Brain fog/confusion, back of neck pain and headaches, numbness in arms, fast heart rate sometimes, insomnia! I feel so helpless! Thankfully it’s not a constant everyday thing for him. I feel for those who have this constantly. I really hope and pray that they find a way to treat you all who have these long term symptoms! 🙏

[ttrue-games]

I was getting anxiety and having a hard time breathing while listening to this. Im so sad this may be me too.. and I also hate reports like this with no fix.. with no advice on what to do.

[scottishjeep]

Month ago I had an attack with pulse of 250 and went to ER, then a week later had breathing problems and went to ER again. I tested negative but I now have shortness of breath, fatigue, spikes in my bpm, and dizziness. get winded easily. always feel my next breath might be my last. very frustrating for a guy who was a weight lifter animal. praying for everyone.

[mydjmode]

This is serious AS HELL. THE FATIGUE AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH IS REAL!!

[kulturefacts]

Hi everyone my names Sergio, I got COVID exactly Jan 12 of 2022 a year ago, I’m still suffering from shortness of breath I’ve been from dr to dr, GI SPECIALIST AND PULMONOLOGIST, with COVID I started to get type 2 diabetes symptoms, I was completely normal before COVID, what’s extremely frustrating is that my blood work always comes back perfect I used to box so I used to be some what in shape. So for everyone who’s feeling like me lonely at times you’re not alone god bless you, god bless all of us

[scorpion]

I got covid and i am recovering the main issue I am having is anxiety, my brain panics that I cant breath.

[Angrymobs]

The range of effects is wild. I have slight shortness of breath/fatigue after a mild case lasting 2 weeks

[taayyiba]
