hi all! im very scared of coronavirus and all the panic that media is spreading to the people ,i feel like im having shortness of breath which is one of the virus symptoms but my oxigen saturation is 98-100% ! is possible to have a problem with my lungs or the virus covid 19 and oxigen is good??
Do you have any other symptoms?
so unfortunately to answer your question i found out the answer is yes. you CAN have issues but your oxygen can read normal. BUT doesnt mean thats always the case. what other symptoms do you have? my shortness of breath is through the roof bc of this virus. but its really my stress causing acid reflux bc once i take an antacid i feel relieved. try to rule out all options before jumping to corona conclusion
i feel very short of breath but oxigen reads 98-99% -100% no fever no cough! i dont know if is my anxiety or i have symptoms of covid ! i have a sore throat too that comes and goes by day
what kind of problems you can have with a normal reading of oxigen ??? sorry just so worried
just the sore throat that improves and goes back by day ! no fever no cough ! i dont know if is the virus
if you didn’t have contact with people that might be sick ,then its probably anxiety. that’s what I’m feeling..this is a very scary situation…feel better
i havent leaving much the house in like 12 days ! i dont know ,my doctor said that if oxigen levels are normal than you are ok! just dont know so much information going on around for young people dying suddenly! just so worried ! my anxiety is out of control now ,and its hard to understand what are the real
symptoms and not
you are well over the time where symptoms show for the virus if you had it you will know.i think you are stressed with the situation. that’s how I am .I have so much anxiety that I don’t even want to eat .and watching the news all the time doesn’t help. stay in your house and only for food shopping and wear a scarf over your face. be safe🤗
its likely just anxiety but course always get a clear from medical professional. anxiety causes me to feel like i cant take a dee breath.

me too,im not eating and even i dont have any appetite for anything or i dont enjoy what i eat(one more hidden symptom of the virus) which is making me think the worst! im sorry to ask but do
you get like Gi problems with anxiety,like
diarreha ??!! im keep losing weight ! almost 25 pounds in 2months
they dont test us if we dont have a fever higher 100.4 or cough ! and now im stuck with my fear if i have the virus and why i am short of breath so much ! also the middle of the chest feels like burning! i dont know if anxiety can give me all this symptoms! thank you for your reply
you have anxiety not the virus,I don’t have Gi problems but my stomach is messed up…try not to worry and maybe look up some YouTube videos for relaxation. take care
thank you so much for your reply
Hi Aria, Let me calm your mind, unless you have fever over 100 & a dry cough & shortness of breath, you don’t need to be seen, 9 out of 10 people tested have flu, not COVID… you have no fever, no cough and haven’t gone anywhere, your O2(oxygenation is good), you have pre-existing anxiety & it is trying to kick your butt, do not let it…severe anxiety can cause a huge range of symptoms…its like having way too much coffee…irritability, heart rate increase(feels like pounding, palpitations, more noticeable esp. in thin people), weight loss, diarrhea(too much stomach acid and other enzymes with no food) increased stomach acid(if you don’t eat, can cause chest pain/burning even back pain) your breathing rate increases, some people hyperventilate/feel dizzy light-headed)and it can cause you to feel shortness of breathe!
You need to SLOW DOWN…breathe slowly in through your nose, out through your mouth, play music(not sad), watch a movie(comedies), take a warm bath, take a good nap, avoid caffeine, try snacking…eat multiple snacks/small meals throughout the day, use OTC antacids(ask DR, not within two hours of other meds and read labels)only for heartburn, NO NEWS, play games, organize your closet/kitchen…DISTRACT/DISTRACT, plan all the things you will do, need, want for after the quarantine is over, stay out of your head, NO what-ifs…deal with TODAY at this moment and how to feel better!!! You can’t control some things, work on the things you can!! BEST WISHES:wedding:
