The 'it feels worse when lying in bed' is something I can really identify with

Hey, here with you. I have chest tightness (and sometimes a stabby pain) and it feels like I cannot breathe as well. Going on for almost two weeks now - no other symptoms at all.

I called in with a physician and they said likely not covid, just muscular stuff. I also have allergies and thing begin to bloom...

So I am confused and worried, lots of anxiety. But it could just be allergies or something muscular from workout (had that before).

That sounds like anxiety to me. I used to get that in my early 20s with those exact symptoms. That was before I learn to recognize my anxiety. Breathing tools were the best solution, at different times I've needed anti-anxiety medication.

Chest tightness and panicked breathing, followed by heart palpitations with no other primary symptoms (fever, cough, etc).

This is a very stressful time, especially for high-information consumers. I wouldn't be surprised if there are thousands of people right now mistaking anxiety for COVID symptoms. Over analyzing your health can lead to some crazy self-driven outcomes too.

I'm also not 100% convinced that it isn't something psychosomatic. The whole situation is very tense and that reflects physically. The fact that even in Germany testing isn't an option doesn't help. I stay mostly home and and it seems that the situation is improving. I hope you'll also soon feel better!

Thank you, today it seemed better until afternoon... now its back to tight chest and all. It might very well be psychosomatic but I dont dare to go out to a physician these days.

Same boat--annoying overlap that anxiety causes the same symptom. Luckily I've always worked from home, so have been pretty well isolated.
