Hi Katrina, and welcome! I see you are a new member here having joined yesterday about this time. We are glad to see you are already engaging with the community through this, your first post.
I see my colleague, , has already replied to your post and I agree with everything he has said.
I also have something to contribute. With both an asthma diagnosis and a diagnosis of COVID-19, it is understandable that you are feeling scared and anxious. There is a concern that, five days into treatment (following your visit to the Emergency Department (ED)), you are feeling a tightness in your chest. Generally speaking, when someone is discharged from the ED, written instructions are provided which usually include (besides treatment plans and medication regimen), a follow-up with one's private physician. Based on what you've shared with us here, my suggestion would be to reach out for your own physician to be reassessed at this point in your treatment.
What do you think?
It's now been an entire day since your first post - how are you feeling now?
