What Happens If You Were Hospitalized With COVID-19?

This scenario shows what might happen in the hospital in the unlikely event that you develop severe COVID-19 symptoms. What treatments can improve your condition? When would you be put on a ventilator? And how could you develop a severe course of COVID-19 despite being perfectly healthy?

Note that treatments, procedures, prognosis and mortality rates vary from country to country and are likely to change as health professionals start to get a better understanding of COVID-19 and develop and test new approaches to fighting the disease.

IMPORTANT: Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

I was positive covid 3 weeks ago, I started with a cough, then headache, then stomach bloating then diarrhea, and ultimately i couldn't breathe, i was on my way to ER, i had to call 911 because i was not getting enough oxygen, they aked me to pull over and they would come get me, but i changed my mind, i said i would drive to ER, so i called all my kids and said my good byes, i was waiting in the ER, 4 hours they took exrays of my chest, everyone sick in the hospital coughing and throwing up, i sure cryed to God, they took me to a room in ER, i had no insurance but they still helped, they gave me an ivy, and told me that i had lungs full of covid, i was thirsty from the time i left home 4 hours had passed and my breathing got better, they sent me home with cough medication coding, and inhaler, and antibiotics for food born illnesses, i would cough more when it got cold and drank water so i would turn off the a/c just to keep ot a little cool, and sweat poured down my face and felt better, i only took tylenol, to help with fever and i didn't want to eat just lay down, i had a hard time walking, and thinking, but i started feeling better after my second week little by little, and i just know one thing you have to sweat the bacterial viruses if you keep it in you will stay really sick, and i heard of a doctor who said to fight viruses to take certain vitamins. I asked God for forgiveness and serve him, B6, v-c, v-D, zinc, flavonoids, v-A, v-E, and asking i then after 2nd day i vomited a goop of bat slime. And i could feel the God of creation had those vitamins help me fight the very last virus to no cough no headache nothing at all thank you heavenly father, amen.

[natashak]

I am one of those patients unfortunately, but thankfully finally home with medical treatment, close monitoring, and lots of healing. Definitely blessed to be alive because I wasn't for sure what would happen. I've faced death multiple times and not ready to go. Praying for everyone.

[xViceBeach]

Shout out to everyone! Hope you all are safe.

2 days of no COVID19 cases in New Zealand today!

[navyanmoko]

Im covid 19 survivor and i m sure i experience all the lung and breathing pain. Sadly in my country people who get virus like me, will be judge and persecuted by the neighborhood, i did get kicked out from my house after i get out from the hospital, because all of the neighborhood is scared of me.

[sbtopzzzlg]

If this doesn’t give you anxiety, nothing will.

[ArianneO]

I was given 2 plasma transfusions + steroids in order for me to be able to breathe on my own again. It was a very scary experience. I almost didn’t make it

[Tamervlogz]

[AmunRa]

I appreciate how descriptive and compassionate this explanation of coronavirus infection is. As a medical student I learned quite a bit with this video. Thank you, What If.
