While the country is seeming to move towards some semblance of normalcy, it is important to remember that multiple newer variants of COVID-19 are emerging and circulating in the United States. Some of these variants cause more severe disease, are more easily transmitted between people, and do not respond as well to currently available COVID-19 therapies. It remains important to protect yourself from COVID-19 infection both due to the inherent risks of contracting an acute case of COVID-19, but also to avoid long COVID-19. The CDC advises:

The solutions are often small actions, like taking five minutes to meditate or go for a walk, and prioritizing the tasks of the day. Doing something that makes any anxious person feel just a bit better. They can build on that.

And at this point, there was really nowhere for me to go. I wasn't dying, but I was just in constant pain. And the doctor was basically saying, 'Just take aspirin.’” However, not enough thought is given to the other factors that come into play when it comes to breathing. Lifestyle choices can either make you feel better or worse depending on which ones you choose to do — or not do — things such as exercise, eating a healthier diet, quitting smoking, taking steps to manage stress and anxiety, and prevention of infection.

There's nothing worse than not feeling well, going to people who you want to help you, and being told, ‘This is not real; this is all in your head,’” says Greenspan, one of the group's leaders. “Is it anxiety-provoking? Absolutely. Is it possibly depressing? Absolutely.” Having our symptoms shrugged off and dismissed over and over by physicians is the most common refrain with Covid-19 long-haulers,” Jerome tells Inverse. “It's everybody; it's all of us. It's constant.” Britt views what she’s seen in the support group as a testament to the human spirit. The group has gotten her “through the darkest nights,” and she hopes others who feel like they’ve reached an impossible impasse find a community as she has. Divide and conquer: Try to be mindful of what you have accomplished at the end of the day; not what you have been unable to do. In an ideal world, when you receive a diagnosis such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary hypertension (PH), or any other serious medical condition, it would be wonderful if you could spend an hour or two with your doctor, asking questions and taking notes about all the things that you will need to know.Air can enter the body through either the nose or the mouth. When you breathe in through your nose, three important functions are performed. First, the air is filtered by tiny hair-like structures; called cilia, trapping particles of dust and debris in the mucus membranes. Second and third, the air is warmed and humidified by tiny blood vessels called capillarie s.
