Enquiry about covid19
Hey there, for the last 6 days I've been suffering with shortness of breath. I've had asthma condition previously. I've experienced this shortness of breath earlier, but it used to go away when I used the prescribed inhaler, but this time it's been 6 days I'm suffering from this. I don't have any cough or fever. Is it a sign of covid19 ? Do I need to get tested? Please help.

If you think your inhalers are not doing the intended job you should.
But how well controlled was your asthma over the last one month and last one year
Have you had any admissions or need for emergency treatment for asthma in the preceding one year.
If you are truly breathless with low oxygen levels I suggest ware a local doc asap and get tested for SARS CoV 2.
