Breathing problems: You may need to see a doctor in person. "Struggling to breathe " is a very concerning symptom. I am not sure if you need to go to the emergency room. The other possibility is are really mild problems breathing and can be seen via telemedicine. People "struggling to breathe" rarely text questions, they are in or going to the emergency room

Go to ER...: If you are having difficulty breathing, you need to go to the nearest emergency room right away. You can get tested there and get treated. If you are positive for COVID, you may be able to get treated with anti-viral medication as well as get your breathing better. So, please go to the nearest emergency room right now!
