been diagnosed for about a month and my dr or nurse has given me literally no information other than yep this is what it is.

i had a pulmonary embolism april 2019 so anything and i mean anything happens with my breathing or i get pain i go in to major panic attack.

right now i have had my first covid vaccine and i have shortness of breath, have palpitations and when i do my oximeter reading it goes from 88% up to 93% within a few seconds but surely it should never go below 90%.

i phoned the nurse and was told because of the vaccine i have a flu like thing going on, plus this costo so my oxygen will be low but shouldnt be in the 80s, enter major panic attack when it did.

i honestly cannot cope anymore with the pain, the shortness of breath and the panics, i also feel because it isnt covid im being fobbed off and ignored.
