Day 8 of covid 19. have shortness of breath, feel very dizzy and trembling a bit. chest feels heavy. no cough. when should i go to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now is reasonable: Shortness of breath at rest or with simple activity is a significant symptom. Many of these end up needing ICU care if not treated early. I would go now.
