I hate how much media I really do unknowingly consume. I just enjoy my time on the internet and come across things. The latest that has been worrying me being any variation of stories of people coming down with covid, rapidly getting worse, dying. People straight up dropping dead from covid. Of course this doesn't help my anxiety. I have that anxiety symptom that's shortness of breath. Even it I had Covid I probably wouldn't tell. This dang shortness of breath is annoying. Sitting in bed plus having the stuffy nose with it, feeling like I can't breath
Feeling like I could just stop breathing at any moment basically. I can never tell if my feelings are allergies or anxiety or actual covid. My only symptoms are runny nose stuffy nose almost every day and the shortness of breath. Can't tell either way. I hate this feeling and I basically just have to sit and be worried about it.

Honestly I have yet to hear such a story over this side of the world. Someone just dropping dead from Covid. few people had heart attacks. But they had heart conditions for years. It was found they had Covid. So Covid was blamed on their deaths. Which, to me, is wrong. it was explained by a health expert. If you die in a car crash. But they find out you had Covid, that is written up as the cause of death. Not the car crash. I just think it is silly. Even get shot in the head and you had Covid, Covid is the cause of death. Not the fact that somebody shot you in the head. These people dropping dead probably had something else wrong with them. You know how the media is. Let us all blame it on Covid.

I’ve not heard of anyone just dropping dead from Covid like that. If it’s happened then it would be astonishingly rare. I know something being super rare isn’t much of a comfort when you have HA but it’s still important to remember and to keep reminding yourself of.

The stories of people dying like this might turn out to not be Covid related at all but certain publications don’t like to do any due diligence.

if your anxiety will allow you to then getting the vaccine is the best protection you can get. If not then all you can do is wear a mask, social distance, keep your hands clean and you will be very unlikely to catch it and given your age, astronomically unlikely to get seriously ill.
