Overview
COVID-19 can affect the lungs from mild illness to severe pneumonia. Some people also experience persistent breathlessness, cough or fatigue weeks after the acute infection — often called post-COVID or long-COVID lung effects.
Assessment clarifies whether ongoing symptoms reflect lung involvement, and guides recovery, rehabilitation and follow-up.
Common symptoms
- Fever, cough and loss of smell or taste in acute illness
- Breathlessness, sometimes needing oxygen
- Persistent cough or fatigue after recovery
- Reduced exercise tolerance post-infection
How I can help

Frequently asked questions
Why am I still breathless months after COVID?
Lingering breathlessness can result from residual lung inflammation, deconditioning, or other factors. A focused assessment with lung function tests and imaging helps identify the cause and guide a recovery plan.
