Abstract: • Post-acute coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) respiratory symptoms are common and may be caused by a variety of factors including, among others, cardiac and respiratory dysfunction. • A detailed history and examination with appropriate investigations is imperative to define the exact nature of the dysfunction. • Limited data exist to guide evidence-based approaches to treatment. • Injudicious use of corticosteroids is cautioned against as well as indiscriminate use of off-label drugs.
