Summary
A 29-year-old woman had mild COVID in March 2020, leaving only mild breathlessness, tinnitus and occasional days of feeling sick after overwork. On 2 March 2021 she woke with severe breathlessness, chest pain and exercise intolerance, exhausted after walking 30 minutes, and has not been the same since. Testing was largely normal apart from low vitamin D and a longstanding borderline TSH; by April 2021 no diagnosis or treatment had helped.
