I really am completely recovered and wanted to share a technique that's recommended by doctors, costs nothing, has no nasty side effects but could help you/your loved ones a lot, as it did me. Stay safe, everyone (sic)," she tweeted. Short breathedness is one of the symptoms of Covid-19 at late stages. Some has even died of the dealy contagin suffering from loss of breath.

The doctor in the video explained how adopting the technique at the early stages of the infection can lead to an early recovery. "Five deep breaths in and each time you will hold the breath for 5 seconds, then breathe out. On the 6th breath, you will take it in and you will have a big cough covering your mouth. You will do this twice and then lay flat on your front, taking slightly deeper breaths for 10 minutes," said the doctor.
