There's always that doubt running through your mind. What if it's the covid thing ?

Rationally ... her symptoms didn't match up with Covid-19. I think between the two of us ... we decided that it was more likely asthma. Asthma is an allergic reaction to something in the air. A lot of folks suffer with spring allergies. Asthma is just a more intense reaction than runny nose & watery eyes. Don't know exactly what her trigger is, but it's more likely some kind of pollen or mold in the air.

Anyhoo .... i picked up a couple of HEPA air purifiers at big box the day after her attack. She started feeling better about a day after we got the air purifiers going.

Not saying it couldn't be the covid but it might be something else that's triggering your breathing problems.

I hope we all get feeling better soon !
Tree pollen is very bad in TN right now and has been for over 2 weeks. I can hardly breath this morning. You can check what the local pollen count is.
