(FOX 9) - A Minnesota woman is speaking out about COVID-19 after she ended up in the ICU. Melissa is 40 years old and has no pre-existing conditions.
Yet, after COVID-19 sent her to the ICU, she's still fighting to breathe. Minnesota woman, 40, shares her story after COVID-19 landed her in the ICU, barely able to breathe.
Waking up in the middle of the night convulsing for air, Melissa described what it's like to suffer from COVID-19. “They woke me up in the middle of the night because my oxygen dropped down to like 77,” she said.
Melissa has been at the Mayo Clinic's hospital for a week now and was admitted to the intensive care unit over the weekend as her oxygen levels plummeted.
