MotherOfMaya 18 Posted December 31, 2021 So here I am again.... I'm not in a full-blown panic at the moment but I have been close in the last couple of days. I started having cold symptoms last Wednesday and they have been very mild. I had covid in September so thought it must just be a cold. Just to be safe because of having family over on Christmas, I took an at-home test on Thursday and it was clearly negative. Well the day after Christmas I woke up with a migraine, which I never get unless I am hung over...or the last time I had Covid. So I took another at home test and it popped up positive pretty quickly. I then went to CVS for a PCR test on Monday, which came back last night as positive. I am just at the end of that three month window where they say you can continue to test positive. So now I don't know if I was reinfected or not. Fine, whatever. However, last night I noticed when I took a deep breath and breathed out I can hear this whistling/squeaking noise at the end of the exhale. My mother is an RN and listened to my lungs with a good stethoscope and hears absolutely nothing, but then I had her put her ear to my mouth and she could hear it. What the heck could this be?? I am like terrified I have COPD or my throat is closing or something. Has this happened to any of you? It doesn't even seem to be every time I exhale but enough where it's freaking me out and I cannot stop thinking about it. I am making myself light headed by taking so many deep breaths. Help please and thanks so much in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotherOfMaya 18 Posted December 31, 2021 To add....my pulse-ox has been in the 98-100 range so I know I'm not in any distress and I don't feel short of breath. It's just such a weird thing. Should I see a doctor about it?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 428 Posted December 31, 2021 I get the same thing sometimes and mine is related to sinus and post nasal drip/mucus issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrightPhoenix 78 Posted January 4, 2022 Just to give yourself peace of mind it would be a good idea to see the doctor. Not saying you have anything, but for your own mental well being. By the way, to make you feel a little better (I guess?), that migraine means you probably got the Omicron variant. That's the milder variant and it will render you immune to future Omicron infections and make you even more resilient to the Delta variant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PennyPanic 268 Posted January 5, 2022 First, feel better. Hugs. Second, I've had this happen before and as Marc mentioned above it was usually related to post nasal drip issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
