I had covid about a month and a half ago and I'm still dealing with some pretty intense after effects:

  1. Shortness of breath doing simple things like walking to my office from my truck, going up a flight of stairs, carrying my baby, etc...
  2. Tightness in my chest during exercise.
  3. Light headed after physical exertion.
I was hoping it'd get better so I gave it some time, but after I nearly passed out while running yesterday I've gotten bloodwork done and setup an appointment with a doctor today to try and figure this bull shit out.

It's a hell of a turn to go from easily running 10+ miles to feeling light headed and wrecked after a half mile.

it took me almost 2 months to feel normal again, running more helped. Like you said, easy things were a lot harder. but yeah... hopefully yours gets better.

Yeah I kind of thought it'd be improving by now, but my run yesterday morning freaked me the fuck out. I kind of thought things might have been getting better when I ran a 5k three days in a row last week, but things are still pretty rough so I want to at least see an expert and make sure I'm not hurting myself by pushing too hard.

And now Im in the ER because my blood tests came back with really low hemoglobin, white blood cells, and red blood cells. My dad is a retired doc and told me to get to the hospital. So did my wife who is an NP.

Listen to the doctors advice who most likely will tell you (among other recommendations) not to push yourself that hard with the running until youre fully recovered again.

Done it a few times, not too bad. It's only when you feel 2 hands on your back and something in your butt that it's a problem.

On a related note, I'm kinda concerned the booster left me with long-term effects because my breathing still isn't 100% and my mind has been a little foggy ever since I got it.

If only I'd known the J&J was still available, but the news made it sound like it was banned. Fucking NPR... like 95% NPR.

Good luck with everything there. I had some similar but milder versions of that. My blood pressure went up a good bit after COVID. I would get lightheaded a bit and out of breath easier as well. I've been able to get my blood pressure lower via diet though. My pulse will still jump up quicker than it used to though.

Do you live anywhere near lots of mosquitoes? I got anemia from a disease I got from them once.

Honestly, that sounds more like you happened to contract Covid around the same time as your booster. Have you been tested at all in that time frame and/or talked to your doctor about how you're feeling?
