Ironically sick during Coronavirus panic. Very unsettling!

[Amw311]

So my husband caught something first, and then my twin toddlers both came down with it...it seemed like a cold/flu (I tried my hardest not to panic and decided to watch and see if they improved) and my husband recovered after about 2-3 days but had a little lingering cough. My boys also recovered after 2-3 days and had a lingering cough as well. Well of course now I have it (it was bound to happen as I have to care for my kids while my husband is at work). I wasn’t panicking initially but now I am full blown freaking out due to the mass hysteria. The way I feel: one of those viruses that are in your head and feels like a brick is on your head, just clouded and heavy. My husband said he felt the same. Chills, mild/moderate fever, runny nose, some phlegm, and a cough (not super dry but not very productive either) anyway I just have this horrible feeling that we have all contracted it. My boys have a slight lingering cough still. Yesterday I was pretty ill and today I’m feeling a little better BUT what worries me is some chest discomfort. I’m just SO scared. Oh, and to make matters worse, I’m way too scared to leave the house and visit any kind of clinic. Also I am pregnant! I’m totally losing it because how “coincidental” is it that I am currently ill during this pandemic??

I've been sick for just over two weeks... all respiratory. my anxiety has fluctuated over it, but at the end of the day... i don't feel like my life is in danger. what I'm experiencing is not the end of the world... and if covid-19 is what i have, i think I'll survive.

runny nose isn't a common symptom and there are a lot of crud going around. try to use the time to relax and get better!

I just feel like I usually don’t experience any chest discomfort when I come down with various Viruses and this is what’s worrying me the most. If it weren’t for the chest discomfort, I’d think I was on the mend. So worried.

even if it were the C virus, some discomfort in the chest is not causefor alarm. Breathing issues would be a reason to get checked, but drinking plenty of fluids, resting, and taking Tylenol or something like it will help just fine.

Do you have an essential oil diffuser? If so, try diffusing some oils that will promote wellness or at least help make the air feel a little more fresh. Also, consider getting elderberry concentrate. The only true concentrate is a product of out of Kansas. Hope your family gets completely past all this soon.

Just went through the same thing and also was pregnant. I ended up going to the er and got a breathing treatment and an inhaler that helped a bunch. I would put a call into your dr and see what they suggest. My heart was rate was constantly in the high 90s and it kinds felt like I wasn't getting enough air or something heavy was on my chest. My cough wasn't super bad but the other symptoms really scared me. It's been a little over a week and now and I'm feeling much better.
