Has anyone else been diagnosed with COPD after COVID?

I also had COVID in early may of this year.
I had a very light case of the virus, but developed breathing problems. After back and forth to urgent care, ER visits and primary, was dx with asthma. Also being treated for panic attacks. The inhaler Albuterol, doesn't seem to help with SOB... Follow up soon with primary and hope to be referred to pulmonologist..

You are not alone. I too was diagnosed with asthma after a mild covid case in Nov. 2021. I also have spasms of the diaphragm. Albuterol does help when breathing becomes difficult but, thankfully my need has diminished. I have been in pulmonary rehabilitation, which has been extremely helpful, and am finding that my symptoms have improved over time. I hope you do see a pulmonologist and want you to know that there is hope of improvement.
