Summary
A 32-year-old who caught COVID in January 2022 developed constant shortness of breath for a few days and a headache, then was reinfected in July 2022 with worse breathing trouble, including a chest-tightness episode that led to an inhaler and another similar breathing episode two weeks later. Since the second infection they yawn and sigh uncontrollably, which they call borderline unbearable. An EKG, blood work and chest X-rays were ordered; no results were reported.

It didn’t work as quickly as I had remembered and before it kicked in I was already getting dressed to go to the ER
