“Many people who recover from the initial infection continue to experience #breathlessness, #fatigue, & #heartinflammation for months afterwards. These ongoing problems – known as Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 ( #PASC or “ #LongCOVID”) – are now recognised as a major health challenge.” #aushealth

A MANNERIST READING
Music symbolism, used by #Mozart in #HaffnerSerenade is rather curious: K249 March seems a mockery of #FuneralMarch ending in #Breathlessness (affanno); K250 Serenade begins in #Jupiter &Lightning symbols for husband!

Ever feel like you can’t get a full breath even when you’re just lying down?
That’s called air hunger a scary but real symptom of Long COVID.
It’s not anxiety. It’s not in your head.
It’s your body saying: Help.

Two-panel cartoon. Left panel: a happy child bounces energetically on a trampoline with the caption “My tissues before COVID.” Right panel: a stiff, grumpy wooden plank with arms and legs sits on a floral sofa, captioned “My tissues after COVID.”

Post-COVID may damage collagen & elastin, reducing elasticity in lungs, joints & skin causing stiffness, breathlessness & fatigue. Mask up!

Drugs prescribed off-label may do more harm than good A new study from King’s College London shows that off-label prescriptions of a common antidepressant do not help breathlessness in patients with respiratory disease – and may cause side effects.

Please watch Sarah's story & other testimonies from #PHAUK on the journey to diagnosis of #PulmonaryHypertension

During 8 long years of #breathlessness, she faced disbelief from doctors who told her whe was "unfit" & "anxious", then a diagnosis of chronic fatigue sd, before a correct PH #diagnosis.
