i tested positive for Covid 2 weeks ago after experiencing a fever, my symptoms have been mild (cough, fever for two days & other minor cold like symptoms) but today I ran into two articles that really have raised my anxiety, a surgeon claiming that the majority of all her covid patients, even ones that had minor symptoms had lung scarring that was greater than that of someone that smoked, this is very alarming considering I have other chronic issues, Idk if there is something settling to counteract this but I can't relax my mind after thinking that my lungs are more than likely scarred

    Hi,

    I tested positive and it was the first time i actually pay attention the articles aside from major media outlets. I am a marketing degree major and research is one of my main focus. After reading so many articles my anxiety is through the roof. I found best to not read old articles as new discoveries are up dated daily. Document every change your experience in a journal and talk to your doctor about any alarming changes. Drink limon, ginger, natural honey tea and try to meditate and listen to your body. Watch meditation video techniques and follow them. I am able to control alot of my anxiety this way. Hope you feel better!!!
