96 today though:rolleyes:
Feel a bit better than yesterday but still worse than a few days back when I thought I was past the worse.
Chest is tighter but headache has gone, shooting pains reduced considerably, but I've been here before...o_O
 
Please call and get sorted.
The people I see in icu are the ones that ‘waited that extra day’ - without fail they ALL come in in a sh-it state and we can’t sort all of them.

91 is to low for a normal healthy person.

Don’t risk it. Please.

get help.
 
I ended up ringing 111 couple of weeks ago due to COVID, has a terrible pain on the right hand side of my chest. They immediately sent for an ambulance and took me to A&E, I just thought I'll be given some pills and be out in a jiffy. Couldn't be more wrong, after a load of blood tests, X-rays and a CT scan it was confirmed I had a blood clot in my right lung (Pulmonary Embolism) :eek::eek::eek:. The consultant came round and said 'You'll be glad you rang 111, you could have died, its a very serious condition' Stayed in hospital for a spell & it was horrendous, the poor staff were rushed off their feet but still managed to give 1st class treatment. People were dying right left & centre on the ward, was really scary, BUT I was glad I went to get sorted out. I'm home now but I have to take blood thinners for a considerable amount of time along with painkillers & anti-biotics.

Glad to hear you are on the mend,

Lots of people complain about the NHS, all I ever say to them is when you need it , they are freaking fantastic.

SO we should all be thankful. I had need of them before the covid crisis and they werre fantastic. But even more now we have to admit for non covid patients they are still doing a great job.

Cheers
 
It’s Been a few days since last post and. I hope things are picking up for both of you, if not and breathing still difficult call 999 ambulance
The below exercises are supposed to help

The most serious cases of COVID-19 involve lung infections where the virus can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, which can be potentially fatal as it closes off air sacs and causes inflammation of the lungs, making breathing difficult.

Although most COVID-19 cases resolve with mild to moderate symptoms, it is important to keep the lungs healthy during this time. For many patients, deep breathing exercises can be helpful.

The Today show recently featured a British doctor who demonstrated deep breathing. Here’s how it works:

  • Take a slow, deep breath in.
  • Hold it for five seconds, then slowly exhale.
  • Repeat five times, ending the fifth repetition with a cough to expel any mucous.
If you are ill, you can do this exercise every couple of hours.

Patients who have had surgery in the past are probably familiar with this exercise. Oftentimes, the exercise is done with a spirometer and patients breathe in through a tube and move a piston up the device to measure their breaths.

Taking in a slow, deep breath and then coughing helps open the lower part of the lungs, where infection can set in, and dislodge any mucous that may have collected there.

In more serious COVID-19 cases, physicians also position patients in the hospital on their stomachs (called prone positioning). Lying on your back can put pressure on some sections of the lung, but proning opens the lungs, helping oxygen flow.
Sounds like the exercises asthmatics do, a physio I knew did some research on it.
