Long-Haul Covid and Asthma Diagnosis (anyone)?

I was diagnosed with an asthmatic reaction post-Covid back in August 2022. I had Covid in late July and went on paxlovid. Then about five days or so after the last dose of that started with shortness of breath. Upon going to urgent care and my doctor for a couple of weeks trying to to get it figured out, I then went to pulmonologist and was told by him that I have had an asthmatic reaction post-Covid. I do not have a history of asthma though, but have had some episodes of bronchitis a few times. Just wondering if anybody else has had this happen. I am on a steroid inhaler for at least until I see him again after Thanksgiving.

Hello Everyone, I am new here and glad to find a group people who may understand me. 52, female. I got COVID in July, 2022. (So regret to go to CA for my son's tournament) Three days high fever and very bad throat pain. Then I felt better and just like a common cold symptom. However, three weeks later, heart beat increased and I felt shortness of breath. My SPO2 was around 95. Since then I started to use Symbicort 80/4.5 irregularly, on and off for two months. (A Pulmonologist prescribed for me .)The symptoms are easy flare up if I caught a cold or stressful with my life. I went to a POST COVID program and the doctor there gave me Trelegy 200. Have you ever tried this one? I feel it is too strong especially I haven't used a higher dose Symbicort yet. If I use Trelegy which is the highest level inhaler for Asthma, what can I use if the symptom get worse down the road?
I have the same hoarseness problem, especially at work after a couple hours talking. Never had that problem before Covid Pneumonia and post Covid lung scarring (still waiting for definitive diagnosis 6 months after getting Covid then pneumonia but being treated like I have asthma, diagnosed as "small airway disease", which isn't a medical diagnosis.

Same for me. No history of any lung problems ever and now on a daily inhaler. Had covid in July. Some days I feel like it helps and some days not so much.
