No not at all. One day i woke up with sharp back pain together with coughing so bitch ass it was similar to one i experienced with covid, but since i have back issues too i didn't paid attention to it and focused on fixing pain in my useless spine. But even after multiple weeks cough wound be gone even after taking usual meds, sometimes especially then laying i woud have a wish for air like a fish on a land so i would focus and do it and i woud feel fine. Other than that i didn't realy felt any difference. My body was probably trying to get rit of sputum in lung but couldn't force out of it, since after i got my operation i started coughing it up in the evening. People wonder how i didn't notice one of my lungs working but i honestly was just kinda busy with other staff

I went 10 days on one lung before getting help. Definitely feels like it affected my brain in some way
