Welcome shmorri, Will you be going to the Post-COVID Clinic at Mayo? If yes, you may wish to review this discussion:

@ldropps may have some tips and experiences to share with you.

My visit was two days, a week apart. I had a bunch of blood work and tests for my lung function. In my case all the tests didn't really give the doctors anything to fix. I did see a physical therapist that was wonderful and gave me a lot of stretches. I was also instructed to start some form of exercise and slowly increase the amount that I do. While I was later told that walking is the best, I have been riding my bike in the house. I am anxious about getting outside and going too far and not being able to get back home. On the bike I add a minute every 10 days. I also attended the Post Covid Syndrome classes which were via Zoom. They were wonderful. They make it sound so easy - too easy. I was skeptical, but I followed the program and I am seeing improvement. I would suggest that if you have access to a pool for physical therapy to take advantage of that.
