"Ensure to check your oxygen levels. If they keep dropping before, during, after a coughing fit, it may require further examination. For example, Mr had similiar 1 month after recovering. Checked his O2s, a trip to community hospital to confirm low oxygen, so a trip to A&E. It was difficult to diagnose as the levels would occasionally go back to normal, but they did an xray, and found lots of small blood clots across both his lungs. Treatment, and blood thinners, and he's an awful lot better. But. Developing blood clots also means you have a higher chance to do so again in the future (covid or not), so blood thinners for life in this case. If something isn't right, and it is worrying you get it checked out. Drs first, but if they are stumped ask for examinations at the long covid clinics, or if something is really bad, be prepared for over night stays at A&E. Big hugs, and hope you feel better soon, complications free." I've had a chest x-ray waiting on results they said 3 weeks but I am guessing if it was something on the chest x-ray I would have been contacted. Dr thinks it could be asthma but I'm not convinced as the inhaler isn't helping yet the antibiotics prescribed did help in short term but the cough came back 2 weeks later. | |||

It's been going on for over 6 months, but been worse the last 3. I can't have a social life. I feel like people are constantly looking at me like I'm infected when I start coughing in a public place.

"Thank you for everyones replies. I haven't chased up GP yet as was told chase when it gets to 3 weeks (end of this week). I did manage 2 whole weeks without coughing so much after antibiotics but it's come back with a vengeance. Interesting how others have talked about throat issues too as I have also been suffering with losing my voice, sore throats etc. " forgot to say coughing was always bad as soon as I went to bed and lay down and seriously affected my sleep | |||

"I had this exact problem for about 8 months or so after my covid... i had so many tests, inhailers, tablets, xray blood tests, ect i was in the docs more then out of it. My asthma nurses heard me cough and said its whooping cough because it sounded like it, i coughed till i was sick or sometimes blacked out a second cos of the straining and lack of breath. nothing fixed it, nothing showed on any scans. It wasnt whooping cough through the bloods they did. then suddenly winter hit and i just stopped coughing and it hadnt come back this year... i didnt know if it was a weird coughing hayfeaver corresponding with spring when it started, so was waiting to see if it started up again this year but nothing... I didnt get any diagnoses or answers.. they ruled a million things out.. but could not tell me what it was. But started during my covid and carried on after i tested neg." It's a positive thing that it finally stopped for you. Unfortunately mine started in the winter. The sick until vomiting is horrific - I've always had a bit of a fear of being sick but it's become such a regular occurrence now as I'm sick a few times a week. | |||

I'm just trying to get fresh air when l can , watching what l eat in case that triggers a cough, good luck anyway! | |||

"You might need a longer course of antibiotics, i had covid way back in mar/apr 2020, been in hospital a couple of times since. One of the problems was a normal course of antibiotics didnt deal with infections in my lungs completely so i ended up on the verge of pneumonia when it took hold again. 17 days of antibiotics cleared that. I have daily meds, a nebuliser and 2 inhalers to keep my lungs functioning." I'm guessing the chest x-ray will show an infection? It's still not back frustratingly. I'm using a neb and a reliever inhaler. | |||

"Years ago I had a persistent cough for months, and like you I'd be coughing til I was sick (was particularly fun on an empty stomach in the morning). Chest x-ray, sputum samples etc all fine. In the end the Dr gave me inhalers, but I think it was the brown one that really helped. I can't think what it's called. Has your GP measured your peak flow? I do have long covid since October 2020, no cough, but shortness of breath and a tight chest. They keep prescribing me blue inhalers that don't help much, yet I don't have an asthma diagnosis or anything for that matter." The brown inhaler is called becotide might have the spelling wrong It’s a preventative inhaler | |||

I had repeated coughing and sneezing fits (which came from the upper part of my chest) on a daily basis for almost 2 years. Saw GP, had chest xray and ultrasound which revealed little. General health deteriorated until Dec 2022 when I went to A & E. More tests showed I had a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) caused partly by damage to.my lungs. Increased build up of fluid due to heart failure followed. I'm now on 6 different meds each day, but am improving. Get some medical advice. I was very lucky. | |||

Post viral fatigue is for tiredness/lethargy after a viral infection. The proper term for long covid should be covid 19 (or SARS CoV 2) sequelae. Sequelae can include fatigue. What the poster did get wrong is that covid is not a flu inducing virus. | |||
