The recovery from COVID 19 may be prolonged. The chest wall muscles may be strengthened with specific exercises. Reduce anxiety, healthy diet, monitor oxygen saturation and exercise as tolerated. Discuss the COVID 19 vaccination, flu and pneumococcal vaccination with your physician. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
