Anxiety in 2021

Short of breath after walking up the stairs to my flat after going to the supermarket. Now thinking -

'Is this covid or am I just out of shape?'

I used to have a brisk 20 minute walk daily going to the train station for work and been so inactive since March last year.

Get checked anyway... Better safe than sorry

@ozgirl512 Thank you... I have no other symptoms and barely go out and never without a mask so I'm sure it's fine.

Just paranoid. It feels like I have less lung capacity you know? If I take a deep breath. But that would happen with not moving much.

@annamk hopefully you are correct, but you still may have picked up a bug going around... Plenty of fluids and rest maybe ;)

I am the same, I think we are just out of shape.

I went to the office and could not believe just how unfit i had become. I have taken up walking each day and increasing the distance as i go and it makes the difference. No special lessons or equipment needed

I’m the same now, like you I used to go on the train or bus to work but being kept indoors is not good.
I try to get out for a walk every day but can’t walk as far as I used to need to get to the gym I think.

Or come with me and we can encourage each other to walk further @helen19

you soon lose fitness with inactivity that bugs got a lot to answer for.

Could be post covid syndrome if you had it.
