Summary
After a severe COVID infection in August 2022, they felt decently healthy by November, then around the new year developed breathlessness and episodes of chest pain. A chest x-ray and EKG were normal. Prilosec, prescribed for possible GERD, may have helped the breathlessness and the chest pain stopped, though they were unsure whether time was responsible. Blood tests found early hypothyroidism, and they were waiting to see a cardiologist.

They prescribed me some Prilosec to see if it’s GERD related - this has helped with my shortness of breath

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
