Covid day 6

IG9
Today I’m on Day 6 of Covid and I feel much better but still anxious about all the awful things that could happen to my lungs . Idk if it’s possible for things to turn around now because I have improved n my concern is that things go back to bad because reading online articles say mild symptoms can turn into severe on 5-10 days . My symptoms day 1,2,3,4 were not really mild I’d say . Fever , wet cough and fatigue in bed , groggy and def sick . Day 5 was a huge improvement and now day 6 I’m dry coughing a bit but I’m up n moving around . Started sneezing a bit but I’m still okay . My oxygen is 97-99 and no fever as of this morning .  Being anxious is the worst bc all I can think about it the worst case scenario . I’m a 37 year old male with no bone chronic or underlying conditions . Clearly anxiety n fear . That’s chronic . I’m no doctor but I know I feel much better than the first 4 days but I’m not 100% and that scares me that I’m not out of this thing yet and scared for my lungs  .

You're fine so far.  You have a mild case.  When you have a mild case of the flu or a cold it still feels pretty bad, and so does this.  Don't predict it'll take a turn for the worse.  If it does, it does.  Probably, though, it won't as you're young and healthy.  But when it's gone you do need to do something about your anxiety.
