Hi, Jay. I have had well-controlled asthma since age 18 (I'm 54 now). I too got a COPD diagnosis after seeing my new pulmonologist in person for the FIRST TIME with little to no testing. I had to have Prednisone about 5 times since I contracted COVID (immediately after vaccination...hmm...). I didn't get COVID for 2 and a half years, and then got it right after getting the vaccine. I would not panic. I have had long COVID for a year and a half since vaccination. I really doubt you have COPD, especially if you've never smoked. I don't even believe my own doctor....LOL. Lung recovery is a long process after COVID. I would not worry yourself unnecessarily. After reading everyone else's stories, I have calmed down a lot. I wish you the best, and I'm right there with you.
