@amine80 The Mayo clinic gave me stretches and said to practice diaphragmatic breathing. I've attached the stretches.

@amine80, The most commonly reported symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome include fatigue and lung (respiratory) symptoms, including difficulty breathing or shortness of breath and cough. In addition to the helpful stretching exercises and suggested diaphragmatic breathing tip you got from @ldropps, you may also get additional tips in these related discussions:
