I don’t really know how this is all supposed to work and I just found this subreddit so please bear with me.


I have been recovering from Covid for the past 8 or so days. The first couple days were the worst with chills, body aches, fever, pretty much every Covid symptom you could imagine, I had. I was so busy trying to just feel better that I didn’t have the time to worry about anything else.

Now fast forward a couple days and I worry about every single little thing that happens. I’ve had leg cramps/pain for a couple days now and I was totally convinced that I had a blood clot. So to the ER I went, got fully checked out, and everything seems to be normal. A couple days later, still have the same pain but now I have chest pain, and with chest pain, comes the anxiety. So I got checked out today again for a little bit different stuff and awaiting results. 

The doctors I have seen are all saying the pain is normal from Covid and I just gotta let it run it’s course. Well it’s a lot easier said than done. I had a panic attack tonight that honestly seemed like a heart attack. luckily I was able to get control over with the help of my spouse. She is my everything and I feel so bad having to put all this weight on her. Without her though, I would be nothing. She is a really trooper and I just want my anxiety to go away. I want it to stop haunting me and dictating my life.

TLDR: my anxiety is making my Covid recovery a hell and I wish I didn’t have anxiety.

Thanks for letting me rant, if anyone has any advice or maybe a similar experience, it would be greatly appreciated as this is a call for some assistance I suppose. I’ve never done something like this before so please let me know if this isn’t the right place.
