Low respiratory rate and possible Bradypnea?M35, 57, 190lbsHi all. Ive been tracking my breathing rate using a Fitbit Sense, and it has been fluctuating between 10-11 every night. In addition I snore, occasionally wake up throughout the night, and get lightheaded occasionally (maybe one brief spell once per week), but that often goes when I eat. Otherwise feel fine. I was diagnosed with vertigo a couple of years ago when my dizziness was particularly bad and the medication cleared that up.Is this something to be concerned with? I keep reading that below 12 is abnormal but I cant find much more than that. Is that below 12 when awake? Is 10 ok when sleeping?

Yes, it's totally fine. It's a pretty useless thing to track.
I have probable covid-19 but dont meet travel/contact requirements for testing. I am a 28 year old female with no comorbidities, however my lymphocytes are consistently low and neutrophils high in various bloodwork throughout the years. Not sure why.Severe cough for about a week, fever for past five days, influenza A and B negative, virus panel also negative. Chest X-ray shows no pneumonia, but Ive read that covid-19 pneumonia can only be seen on a CT scan. Coughing up frothy sputum almost constantly, pain when breathing, and getting lightheaded with light activity around the house.Naturally I am quarantined with my family however:-should I be concerned about developing pneumonia?-when they talk about the possibility of convos-19 patients developing long-term or permanent fibrosis, what exactly does this mean? What symptoms would one have, and how would one get tested in the first place?Thanks!
If your symptoms worsen and you are concerned seek reassessment.Given this virus was only identified less than three months ago anyone whos talking about secondary fibrosis or any other long term effects is full of shit.
