Post COVID-19 lung conditions may develop, even if the initial course was mild. A study with and without a bronchodilator is recommended. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and difficulty exercising. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Consider a trial of bronchodilator and ant inflammatory treatment. An imaging study may be helpful.
