Personal trainer, 23, reveals ordeal of long COVID

A personal trainer has opened up about the ordeal of long COVID.

It is increasingly coming to light that not everyone who overcomes the coronavirus returns to a clean bill of health, with some facing complications after testing negative for the infection.

Dan Scoble, 23, from Oxford, developed severe chest pain and cold-like symptoms in early March.

Over the past seven months, Scoble has been to hospital around 10 times with severe pain.

He even endured a spontaneous lung puncture six weeks ago.

Too “wiped out” to work, Scoble has hired a carer to ensure he is eating three meals a day.

While no doctor can accurately gauge when Scoble may feel like himself again, the personal trainer is determined to stay positive.
