Difficulty breathing after recent physician visit

Posted , 3 users are following.

I recently visited primary care for some other issues. I have dry nose and I saw nasal turbunates were inflammed. I was also having anxiety to get exposed to covid in these situations.

Today after 4 days having sort of mild cramps here and there around chest area . No fever but I need to sometimes clear up my throat.

I am worried if I was exposed to Covid or these symptoms are because of covid

Though I followed all good habits I suddenly had difficultly breathing. Today I was not able to breath through nose as those turbunates were kind of blocked.

I suspect it triggered my anxiety and I had episode of shortness of breath. I used Arbuterol ashtama spray and felt better. I also regularly use antihistamines and steroid nasal spray. Not sure if its contributing to dry nose...

One more thing when I did take steam I realized magically that swelling reduced to certain extent and I am able to breath normally but chest or ribs are still paining little bit

    you’ll be OK. I suspect that your anxiety flared up after the doctor visit. Just take all the regular precautions to avoid Covid.
