I can't�even take my symbicort�inhaler properly because I start to cough the second I inhale it and can't hold it in.� � worsen with activity, a little better when lying down.�at times pressure in my left maxillary sinus,� my left nostril gets blocked on and off.

I am always around 36) but taking paracetamol for 2 days and its back to normal. Muscle pain in my thighs and upper arms. No wheezing. No covid-19, chest x-ray�was ok will appreciate your insight.

Dear lybrate-user pls get covid 10 rtpcr swab done in first place. All symptoms you explained match the covid scenario. Xray is non diagnostic. Hyperresponsive airway can present as a part of covid infection and sinusitis flares up. You might need oral steroids like prednisolone temporarily to control the inflammation. Pls visit near by covid treatment centre and get tested first. Treatment will follow after diagnosis.
