Estimates of the number of people in the US with lingering Covid-19 symptoms vary widely, but a new survey from the National Center for Health Statistics says the condition may have affected as many as 962,000 children and 17.9 million adults.

If you haven't seen a medical provider about it, I suggest doing so. Sleep is important. This could be asthma, sleep apnea, GERD or a bunch of other things (long COVID among them). But if you can get a fix to it quickly, you'll absolutely feel better.

My wife and I make a decent amount but when she went to have an opinion on wrist pain, we have no answers and after one test we have paid nearly 2 thousand dollars after copay. The doctor says we can try the next thing if we want. It's fucking ridiculous. How can anyone afford Healthcare in the US?

I agree it's insane 😅

I do have asthma, but this was never an issue before I had COVID. I have other, more pressing medical issues at the moment that I won't go into because half of Lemmy has probably heard me talk about it by now.

Asthma evolves over time and COVID impacts your lungs. You can have both or neither. Who knows until you get some simple tests done to evaluate your lungs. You'll need to update your primary who will update your medications or guide you on the next step. I wish you the best!
