Brisbane doctor’s battle with long COVID
At 26 years of age, Brisbane doctor Jack Cooper thought he would be able to beat COVID quickly when he was diagnosed last year. But he’s still battling chest pains and headaches.
When I was diagnosed with COVID-19 in August last year, it made me think about my own mortality for the first time. I could have died.
My main symptoms were chest pains and nausea and my wife had a really bad sore throat for a couple of weeks. It’s so different in everyone but it took us both a few weeks to recover.
Before I got COVID and the first lockdown happened in Melbourne, I was running 5km or 10km to get out of the house and keep active.
Ever since my diagnosis, I haven’t been able to do any exercise because it provokes the same bad pains in my chest that I had with COVID.
