Unraveling the complexity of 'Long-COVID' and its impact on breathing

More than a third of COVID-19 patients experience long-lasting symptoms, known as post-COVID-19 condition or long COVID, with breathlessness being a commonly reported symptom. Pulmonary complications, such as fibrosis and thromboembolic disease, require careful assessment, and non-pharmacological interventions like pulmonary rehabilitation can help manage breathlessness.
