I am 10 weeks post covid now with some breathing difficulties ( not sure of cause yet) seeing an ENT specialist and diagnosed rhinitus so far( inflammed nose-narrowed nasal passageways ) waiting for ct scan results for sinuses . Symptoms now are congested nose ,some headaches, runny nose after food/exercise (runny nose and post nasal drip have lessened due to nasal spray - dymista) some difficulty breathing on waking ,going to bed and occasionally on exercise. Fully fit and healthy before covid -no breathing problems ever .Any suggestions as I am really worried about my breathing ! I have tried resting more at times and sleeping sitting more upright, eating slowly to avoid breathlessness and nothing seems to stop these symptoms which vary a lot from hour to hour and day to day.I expected to recover from covid easily as I have never had any health problems at all in 51 years ( 3 covid vaccinations) no medical history of any other conditions and fit and healthy working out 6-7 days a week for the last 17.5 years working in the fitness industry.I presume my symptoms are linked to covid as I did not experience them before this.I need a lot of help to get me through this - I do not want to be dismissed as just another case of rhinitus and left to suffer with a nasal spry when there is so much more involved in this .Any help /advice from personal /medical experience welcome thank you!
