I know the survival rate is bad. My pulse ox is always above 95% even with exercise but I still literally feel out of breathe and like I’m on my death bed. I don’t have a cough. Chest pain and I feel my throat closing on me. I feel tired from even bending over or brushing my teeth. -

Hello Jay, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I’m hoping for the best for you. You are young to be going through this ordeal. I’m hoping the CT reveals NO SCARRING. I’m praying for you. Good luck tomorrow! Please keep us updated. Mark
