See if you can get the covid medicine. It helped my ex a whole lot. I'm not big on the vaccine until more research comes out. But I've had 7 vaccinations and my case of covid was way easier than my exe's from the outside looking in. Make sure you call your dr and let them know you have covid.

I have asthma and since COVID, it has made it more difficult to breath. I use a purifier. It helps a lot.

I have had my cpap for years and I have more energy. After my bipas on my second day in the icu. It helped me to increase my lung capacity. Something to think about.

Hi Danny,
I also have COPD that was causing me a lot of problems.
First thing I would do is talk to your provider about having a pulmonary function test done. It really helps to determine the severity of your condition.
My doctor has prescribed two maintenance inhalers, Serevent and Flovent, twice a day, and also Montelukast (generic Singulair), a pill I take in the evening. This has helped keep my condition well controlled.
I would also ask your provider about having a sleep study done. We found out my breathing was substantially impacting my sleep and my overall health as well.
It also means I now use a C-PAP. I was skeptical of it at first, but now won't sleep without it.
I hope you find some relief. I know how much this can affect your life.
