Fingers crossed you don't. Perhaps you already know about oximeters, but if you don't, maybe check whether it's worth it to get one at home (~ £20 on Amazon). I didn't have one, but a friend dropped off his oximeter at my door and it provided peace of mind that my oxygen levels were fine and there was nothing to worry. I knew nothing about silent/happy hypoxia and oximeters before this. I also found out that it's much better to sleep on your stomach if you have any trouble breathing due to coronavirus, as it puts less pressure on lungs.twinklie said:Eek, glad you are on the mend. I've got a lung disease so I'm really worried about getting it.
Thanks all for the kind words!3 -
Glad your friend loaned you one. I worry easily about things like this - so bought one early in the crisis too.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality
