Being in your body while having covid19 kind of sucks but I learned some things while I had it to make it more bearable. The biggest thing is to not stay stagnant for too long. A nurse recommended making a conscious effort to get up and move every 90-120 minutes, even if it's just to make a few laps around your house. Get yr lungs to werk while you're able. Someone in my family had a problem where they got sick w covid so they did nothing but lay on the couch for days, which led to a secondary infection of pneumonia. Deep breathing in a shower or over some strong tea is really helpful, and if you have a humidifier that would be nice. Laying on your stomach is also helpful, since your airways can be blocked when you have weight for an extended period of time on your back where your lungs are. It was also recommended to lay on your stomach with a pillow beneath your stomach and your knees under ya to put you at a 45-degree angle and to breathe like that to allow your chest cavity to drain.. not totally sure what that one meant but it felt relieving to do!
sending best of luck and body love through this nightmare. And if you dont already have covid practice deep breathing Now! love
