Hello doctor! I have a history of antral nodular gastritis. Recently, there are symptoms of shortness of breath, chest tightness, difficulty breathing more at night, nausea and vomiting, belching, loss of appetite. Constantly stressed, having a lot of headaches despite not working much.
In the current Covid-19 epidemic situation and with the above health symptoms, I am always worried that I will be infected with Covid and fear that I will be the one to spread it to others, even though there is no epidemiological factor. . Please advise if you have difficulty breathing, chest tightness, nausea, or are you at risk of contracting Covid 19? I would like to thank you!

Hello. Gastritis does not have symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing at night. For Covid infection: there are often epidemiological factors such as going into epidemic areas, coming into contact with infected people.
If there are symptoms, there are usually manifestations: fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden loss of smell, change in taste, diarrhea... X-ray shows lung damage. And the symptoms will either get worse or go away.
Currently with my symptoms, the doctor does not think that I have Covid-19 infection. I strictly follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health on the prevention of Covid-19. With her symptoms, the doctor found that she seemed to have an anxiety disorder.
For an accurate diagnosis, you should see a specialist at a hospital of Vinmec Health System for proper diagnosis and treatment.
