Doing well: Sounds like you are weathering the infection well. Keep an eye on your blood pressure, and if you have a finger monitor, keep an eye on your oxygen levels. See a Dr for blood pressure that is over 140/80, increased difficulty breathing, O2 less than 93, blue lips, persistent chest pain or confusion/lethargy. The high pulse is probably due to your illness.

COVID 19: Agree with Dr. Kratzberg. Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, decongestant, cough med & nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. Make sure to quarantine. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face or new-onset of confusion. Is your cough contributing to difficulty with sleep?
