A man who felt like he was drowning while suffering from coronavirus has warned young people not to dismiss the severity of the infection.
Daryl Doblados, 29, woke up with a high temperature, sore throat and aches all over his body. He later got shivers and a shortness of breath, called 111 and was rushed to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Despite being relatively young, the Littleport man was floored by the disease, Cambridgeshire Live reported. He is now in self-isolation having spent eight hours in hospital. "During my stay, I was very worried about the acute shortness of breath," he said. "I was always consistently trying to focus on my breathing because once I lost control of the breathing, I felt like I was drowning." Daryl
