Summary
A Reddit user fell ill on 5 January 2021 with mild COVID symptoms that worsened; on 18 January they were admitted to hospital with Covid pneumonia and oxygen at 86%. Discharged about a week later, they used an inhaler, vitamin B12 and C and a lung exercise device, and by early February felt a bit better, with oxygen at 97-99%. Chest pain and a heart rate that rose on exertion remained, plus constant anxiety about relapsing.
