COVID 19: Please let your doctor know. You could have a secondary infection. If you had moderate to severe COVID 19 infection - this could be sequela.

Agree with Dr. F: Multiple symptoms may persist after clearance of the Covid-19 virus due to damage to various tissue, especially lungs. It would be prudent to see your doctor to rule out secondary infection. You may be suffering from depression and it is treatable. Try to resume physical activity as tolerated and gradually increase the time and intensity of activity. Wish you good health!
