Thrufaith 9 Posted December 17, 2022 Hi everyone so I was able to dodge Covid for the last 3 years, but the bitch finally got me. I am on day 12 of covid and overall I feel alright. I didnt get it too bad fever for 2 days a slight cough sore throat and a ppst nasal drip. I was actually doing pretty good not knowing I had Covid, but the minute I found out I had Covid my world turned upside down since then I swear I have developed pots because I feel shaky and short of breath and jittery and sometimes it feels like my heart is racing...mind you I have checked my O2 and its in the 95 to 98 range. I have gone to the doctors twice and they have checked my lungs and all is good. I had a heart monitor and ekgs done back in May and all was fine. I know this is anxiety..right? I lost a dear friend to covid so knowing I had it instilled this fear that I could die and leave my kids behind like my dear friend did. I am afraid of long Covid....i am fully vaxxed and double boosted. Are the symptoms I am feeling of jitterness and heart racing and short of breath and the dlihht or fight feeling all anxiety? Or did I develop some type of POTs? I need help pls! Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironman 153 Posted December 17, 2022 I am not sure what POTs are. It sounds like what you have is anxiety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 428 Posted December 18, 2022 POTS is a condition whereby when you stand or change posture, your heart races and you may get dizzy or feel faint. Your O2 is great at 95 to 98. I had COVID pretty bad October 1 of this year. It hit me out of the blue and I had a 102.4 temperature and had diarrhea. I lost 6 pounds in a couple of days as I was very weak and felt like there was a 600-pound elephant on my back. I was weak for around 2 weeks afterwards. Your symptoms seem like anxiety.
