worsening of asthma post covid

[Lynneb172]

Hi thanks for reading….

I tested positive for covid beginning of July but a few days prior to this I started with my breathing becoming a little raspy, a bit like whistling when breathing, could this have been the first symptom of covid? My asthma is gradually getting better but still have a kind of wheeze in my throat but my chest is clear. ENT have checked my throat and all ok, I have a CT scan just to check my upper airways, the consultant was very helpful and wanted to reassure me as I had lung cancer just over 2 years ago and had part of my lung removed, I made a speedy recovery and didn’t need further treatment, I’ve kept a good level of fitness and do lots of walking. Not used to having my asthma out of control for so long, is this normal after covid?

Thanks again Lynne

Good morning Lynneb172. You have certainly had a rough couple of years and sounds like you have done well to come through it so well and recovered. Hope your Asthma starts to feel better soon and you can get back to enjoying life. Take care. Brian

Hello, very normal. Usually takes me a couple of months and lots of medication before my asthma recovers from Covid. I hope it settles for you soon. x

Hi there, thank you, that’s reassuring, managed to avoid covid all this time and it finally got me, so debilitating when your asthma isn’t right, hopefully back to normal very soon x

It took me weeks to get back to normal after Covid, so I would say no need to worry unless you are getting worse or seeing no progress.

Thanks for your reply, I’m used to doing some long walks with the dogs but just struggling a bit at moment
