Went through the exact same thing the week leading up to July 4th.

The Sunday prior, I laid down to take a nap and had terrible trouble breathing along with chest pain and pressure. All classic symptoms of Covid aside from the #1 symptom which is a high fever. I monitored my temps every 4-6 hours for the next 2 days and all tested normal readings. But my mother said I should go get a test, so I got the brain-stab test done and 2 days later the results came back negative. I was worried too that I might test positive because although I work from home and am pretty much a home-body, I had been previously around my folks. Including my Dad who has diabetes from having Agent Orange from his days in Vietnam. But luckily I was fine. Think my breathing issues were from asthma flareups from this crazy humidity we've been experiencing this summer.  Previous Message I could take full breaths, but it didn't seem like I was getting in oxygen for some reason. Note, I had been wearing the stupid mask for about 30 minutes prior to this. Then I did the worst thing possible...googling symptoms. It said that shortness of breath was an advanced sign of COVID-19. Great, last thing I wanted to do was infect the boomer down the hallway from me. Hence, I walked a few blocks to an urgent care place and they listened to my lungs. They sounded fine, but went ahead and tested me anyway. Then, I'm worried all weekend about getting a false positive and being stuck at home for 10-14 days. Yesterday morning, they called and said the test was negative. So at least I've got that going for me.
