Long Covid and shortness of breath

Posted by www3 @www3, Aug 29 12:32am

I have been to many doctors who ruled out many organs. Anyone who knows how to deal with long covid shortness of breath? What do you do?

I have not personally, but I would try to get a consult with a pulmonary rehab. You should have a pulmonologist if you are short of breath, as well.

I have shortness of breath, and this may sound crazy but I also have GERD.
I was in remission for acid reflux, but when my long covid showed up, my breathing became an issue. Anxiety caused me to focus on my breathing and that made it worse. I started back on Pepcid and I have much less pain and nausea in my esophagus. My breathing has improved. Also, I do breathing exercises as well. Hope you are able to get relieve. I know how uncomfortable shortness of breath can be.
