What helps post COVID shortness of breath?

This looks very interesting, Lucy. I'll be interested to hear if other members have been offered or told about vagus nerve stimulation as a potential effective treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory dysfunction originated by Covid-19. There are several clinical trials underway https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=vagus+nerve+stimulation+COVID&term=&cntry=&state=&city=&dist=
Has your therapist discussed with you how this might help in your case? Is this something administered by the clinician?

Hmmm, interesting trials but none fit my situation. I did have acute COVID pneumonia but was not hospitalized. My biggest complaint is shortness of breath from doing minor activities. I am going to try VNS with a clinician here in FL. I will report the outcome, if any. Thank you.
