What are the signs and symptoms of post covid lung fibrosis?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Somewhat variable but generally shortness of breath, especially with exertion, cough, fatigue. Perhaps a wheeze in your chest, especially if you’ve not had it before. Many of these symptoms are routinely present after an episode of COVID-19 but ought to gradually improve over many days or a few weeks. If not, see your doctor

I agree with Dr. Lentnek about symptoms of post - COVID 19 lung fibrosis. SX's can include "cough, shortness of breath,& need for oxygen." REF: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/lifelong-lung-damage-the-serious-covid-19-complication-that-can-hit-people-in-their-20s#What-is-post-COVID-fibrosis?
