Does this sound like Long Covid?

Did he see a cardiologist about the chest pain and shortness of breath? That could have been a heart attack. If he didn’t it’s still worth having it checked out now even if it was years ago.
The sleeping issue could be sleep apnea or another sleep disorder. If a sleep specialist rules that out then it could well be Long Covid. LC is diagnosed through a process of elimination — if all your tests are fine but you’re still sick then it’s LC.

@trevors Yes, he actually went to the Mayo clinic and nothing was found.
He’d had a partial collapsed lung( for no apparent reason except he might’ve had Covid). This was before vaccines and tests were available for Covid. So maybe the chest pain and shortness of breath were a lingering result of that?
He does have sleep apnea, but he used a CPAP for a while and now uses the mouth device and it helps.
