A member asked:
5 months post covid 19 my red blood cell count is marginally high (5.69 vs range of 4.5-5.5) which may explain why i feel like i am not getting enough oxygen. other blood tests look fine but asthma and allergy meds are not helping. ideas welcome.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms: This red blood count would not lead to a shortage of oxygen. There are long term effects of covid so breathing difficulties from covid lung damage, for instance , may persist. However, being sick with this illness can be very scary. It is possible that anxiety about breathing is leading to problems.
