Pulmonary evaluation: Obtain a chest image and pulmonary function testing. This may also include pulse oximetry and exercise challenge. There is a post COVID 19 recovery period and patients may still experience symptoms related to bronchospasm, heart disease and retained fluid. An EKG is also suggested. Watch for signs of difficulty breathing, fever, cough and chest pain.
