"Loss of breath" ?'s: With the prevalence of Covid-19, shortness of breath is a common symptom even after the initial infection wanes. Oxygen deprivation will cause cardiac irregularities on occasion, and if ECHO and stress test was normal with the exception of mild mitral valve insufficiencies, your symptoms should gradually subside. Even testing for Covid as "negative" does not exclude this cause.
