Most people recover fully after COVID-19, but some have lingering breathlessness, cough or reduced stamina for weeks or months. A gradual, guided approach helps.
Helping your recovery
- Pace your activity and increase it gradually
- Simple breathing exercises to expand the lungs
- Stay active within comfortable limits
- Keep up with vaccinations and avoid smoke exposure
Warning signs to get checked
See a chest specialist for persistent breathlessness, chest pain, a cough that will not settle, or if you are not back to your usual self after several weeks.
