Lung issues one week after symptoms started

I started developing symptoms on the 2nd. They fully hit on the 3rd.

I'm a week in now and most of my symptoms have resolved. However, I've noticed my lungs burn a bit and I still get winded fairly easily. I'm also more tired than usual, which I am guessing is correlated to lung function. Anyone else deal with this?
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

My o2 dipped into low 90s in first few days. Eventually came back hip. I'm on day 13 and although breathing seems normal I do get winded fairly easily. And I would run quite often before so getting winded doing routine tasks is a bit concerning. Hope it goes away soon.

Nothing unusual. You can still have symptoms for up to 4 weeks but they should be steadily improving throughout that time. Some people still have lingering symptoms past 4 weeks which is known as "long COVID".

Your timeline is exactly same as me. Been sick over a week now and lungs are getting a little worse even though cough isn't too bad. Pounding the D3 and drinking Earl Grey with honey seems to help a lot

I had the exact same experience. Fairly mild case with O2 dipping into the lower 90's, but had that lung/chest discomfort for months after getting past all the other symptoms.

I feel like the more I exercised and slowly brought my self back to a reasonable activity level, the better it got. Just take it slow. Getting winded easily is very common after recovering form COVID. I have an exercise bike that I would do 5-10 minutes on to try and help out.

Take some Viagra. You'll be breathing heavily in no time!
