What helps post COVID shortness of breath?

I have had issues with the breathing part as well, but mine seems to stem from my back and chest feeling like they are being smashed together. I know it's not a heart issue like people want to assume. I had a TIA when I was 36 years old, so I have been to the ER several times and that is always what they check out first. My counselors don't quite understand the whole ER thing. They think you just go in and tell them what you want for a drug to sleep, and that they'll allow me to stay overnight.

I relate to the back and chest thing, in that the pressure and soreness foe me is (also) on both sides, essentially opposite of each other. In the process of interviewing new PCP as mine has retired. My gauge is how much attention they pay to these symptoms as my primary concern. The 1st interview the dc simply ignored them and focused on the process to enroll me as a new patient. I realize that concern and being able to help are not the same thing; but figure I need to select someone who at least acknowledges what my primary concern is.
