Chest Pain
I am an Asthma patient and have been facing the issue of chest pain since many days. The pain is not major but sometimes it does cause the pressure while breathing. Yesterday night while sleeping it did made me feel uncomfortable and I had to get up and sit for sometime. Also, I am having difficulty sleeping towards the sides and have to lie down straight. The pain occurs at different areas of the chest (like sometimes it occurs at the center of the chest, sometimes towards left or right or at the upper side). I am also facing the issue of constipation and gastritis and really not sure if that is causing the chest pain. I am also having sore throat for more than 15-20 days and again don't know the reason behind it. Are these the possible causes of COVID? I am not having fever or cough. Kindly advise.
