    if the chest x-ray was clear, and the blood tests were normal, no fever or cough, and then you should be OK. Chest tightness can also be the result of anxiety.

    people who don’t have severe symptoms will be told to stay home and treat mild symptoms. That would include staying hydrated, getting rest, Eating healthy and staying away from others.

    try to relax. Of course if symptoms get worse contact your health provider. Take care

    caitlin04731,

    So sorry for your health challenge, especially during these worst of times. Read recently, that many USA Covid-19 patients had low oxygen levels but were not short of breath, just experiencing mild breathing discomfort along with other virus symptoms. After many C-19 patients were experiencing similar symptoms, doctors determined the condition was due to clotting blood. Did your health care provider check you for blood clots? Best wishes and the Lord's blessings for a complete recovery. RJ
