I'm a bit concerned because I've never had any medical issues before, but for the last month or so, I've been getting out of breath really easily, even just walking a short distance or talking a lot. I used to be really active, going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training regularly until the end of last year. I'm curious if there's something going on with my health and what kind of remedies I should consider. Any thoughts on what might be causing this sudden breathlessness?

I'm really concerned about my situation. It's been about 15 days since I recovered from COVID-19, and now I'm dealing with shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, and occasional chest pain. Sometimes it even feels like there's a sharp, needle-like pain. I haven't had any investigations or tests done yet. Could you advise me on what I should do next and which type of doctor I should consult? I'm a bit worried and could really use your guidance.
