In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
Are these symptoms of long covid or is this pretty standard for recovery?
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
I can go on long walks without too much of a problem, but when I start exerting myself that’s when my heart rate shoots up and my lungs can’t keep up.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I’m 6 weeks out from the start of symptoms, feeling pretty good but my lungs still feel like they hold no air and my heart rate shoots up - normal?
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I developed a sore throat and ill feeling on 11/11
- Says they never had: Brain fog
No brain fog from what I’ve noticed
Summary
A r/covidlonghaulers user fell ill on 11 November 2022 with mild COVID symptoms, a sore throat and a lingering cough. Returning to exercise a month later brought heart discomfort on a steep hill and dizziness at about 120 bpm on a stationary bike. Six weeks out most symptoms had resolved, but their lungs still felt empty of air and their heart rate shot up on exertion, so they were unsure whether to start a light workout regimen.
