Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. Here's hoping you either get a negative or have light, short-term symptoms at worst.

Take care of yourself :)

Sorry to hear that, I do hope it goes well.

Sorry to hear about that! Hope it gets better for ya!

Thanks everyone for the good wishes! I'm on medication for all these symptoms so at least I'm getting help through it even if it may be negative

Ahh ya poor guy. I had it in December, mild case and it was bad enough. Zinc tablets and sleep. Get a Oxygen Monitor for your finger ($5-$10)

Good idea. What exactly is it useful for in this situation?

Zinc? Immune system boost. 10-20mg. Oxygen monitor to go to the hospital if you drop below 90%. Vitamin D helps too.

I've been taking Zinc and a multivitamin every day. Would it still be necessary?

Keep taking it until you are no longer sick.

I hope you feel better soon. And yeah, as was mentioned, almost everyone with severe symptoms also had low vitamin D.

An oxygen monitor will very much help, too. The feeling of needing to breath is triggered by a carbon dioxide build-up. COVID can cause diminished lung capacity, so you breath in faster, smaller breaths. This expels more carbon dioxide without necessarily bringing in more oxygen, and you end up hypoxic without feeling anything's off. Since hypoxia can result in euphoria, you may even feel things are well off.

Best of luck to you.

This is a much better explanation. Thank you for this!
