I Got COVID-19 As A Young Healthy Person And It Kicked My A–
Then I couldn’t catch my breath
The morning after the headache-riddled, sleepless night, I got up to feed my dog and take her out as usual. I did exactly this before completely feeling like the wind was knocked out of me. I stood up and crossed the apartment. That’s it. At first, I thought I’d just gotten up too fast, so I sat down while mixing up my dog’s food. However, my breath would not return to me fully. It became pretty apparent that I was about to faint, so I started walking back to the bedroom and totally blacked out – like I couldn’t see anything for a moment – before feeling around for the bed with my hands and lying down. I was pretty afraid to get up again for a while. It was obvious that something in my body was begging me not to.
