COVID (or maybe not?) Pregnancy Related Complications?
Hi, y’all.
I just want to see if anyone has dealt or is dealing with something similar. I feel like I’m going crazy and I’m at my wits end.
I tested positive for Covid April 1 and ended up being hospitalized for a few days because it had turned into pneumonia and I was pregnant.
I recovered from the initial pneumonia and Covid, but since then, I’ve been in and out of ERs because I feel off and I know something’s wrong but have yet to be taken seriously.
Baby is measuring okay, and he’s okay as of our last ultrasound at 20 weeks, but I’m worried about the stress I’m under affecting him.
I’ve had constant chest pain since I had Covid, which could be the inflammation, but there’s “attacks” that last for half an hour to an hour or more and my blood pressure spikes and so does my heart rate when they happen. My vision gets blurry and I get dizzy and have headaches both randomly throughout the day and when the attacks or whatever they are happen.
The last time I saw my OB I brought it up, but the symptoms with these have gotten worse. He’d given me something for the “inflammation” but it didn’t make anything better. I see him again in a week, but I’m wondering if I need to press the issue and keep trying to figure out what’s making all of this worse.
Sorry it’s so long, I just wanted to ask if anyone’s had similar issues or anything like this because of COVID + being pregnant.
