I was diagnosed with COVID on June 24th and got treatment until July 10th. When I got discharged, the doctor said I didn't need another swab test. Since then, I haven't had any symptoms or health issues. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to go back to doing cardio workouts now. Also, what precautions should I take while exercising, and is it okay to focus on weight loss?

I've come across some information online suggesting that being able to hold your breath for over a minute means you have healthy lungs. I'm curious if this is a valid test for lung health. I personally can hold my breath for a minute and a half. Does that mean my lungs are in good shape, or should I be looking at other signs?

try doing some yoga breathing exercises

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with diabetes for a while now, and she's also got this congestion thing going on. The doctors said it's COPD, and she's using a nebuliser and taking Seroflo. I'm just wondering, with all these conditions together, is there something specific we should be doing to help manage her symptoms better or any other treatments we should consider?

continue same.
