It is potentially a cardiac or pulmonary condition. A chest image and EKG 12 lead may be indicated. Post COVID 19 syndrome may lead to chronic cardiac and pulmonary conditions. Monitor your temperature, stay well hydrated, rest and see your physician.

In addition to cardiac and pulmonary disorders, severe anemia, overactive thyroid, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome( POTS) and anxiety states are possible causes of your symptoms. I recommend getting evaluated by a specialist in internal medicine or cardiology. Appropriate testing will be done.
