Wow, I never gave it a thought there was any correlation between long Covid-19 and developing COPD, sleep apnea, asthma and muscle atrophy progression. None of my care givers even suggested any of it was possible. (I guess they still do not know a lot about long covid's effects)
One additional item, I contracted a severe case of covid on 8 December 2020 and since then, I have been slowly developing all of the above issues. I might add that when I contracted double lung pneumonia covid, I had quit smoking 29 years earlier and had no issues with breathing until I went into a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with COPD.

I have weight loss and muscle atrophy I believe due to long covid. I was 6'5'' 225#'s, now 6'5" 175#'s. Have been to 2 long covid clinics, both have verified I have long covid. I have a atrophied pancreas, therefore on digestive enzymes replacing those pancreas is apparently no longer producing. I have post exertional malaise.
