What helps post COVID shortness of breath?

I had vagas nerve stimulation done this afternoon and initially, it seems to have helped, but it was not in a medical setting and instead was part of some cranial sacral therapy.
The positive experience (my heart rate is lower and my breathing is a bit easier) prompted me to do some more research.
The dolphin referenced above is what we used today.
Since I am a new member it seems I can't share any of the links I have but the title of the article is "Scientists propose cause of symptoms, treatment for long COVID-19" at it was published on the website for the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota

Hi Nicole, You're right that there is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe.
I believe this is the article about two non-peer reviewed studies that "suggest that some long COVID-19 symptoms may be related to the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the vagus nerve and that the use of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)—which increases blood flow—can improve some of those symptoms, respectively."

Nicole, can you explain a couple of things from your post? The dolphin you mention is in reference to @welchllb's post about the brand name Dolphin Vagal Nerve Stimulator, correct? You mention that the craniosacral therapy was not administered in a medical setting. What type of setting was it?
