SYDNEY : Shortness of breath, persistent cough and fatigue are common COVID signs and symptoms. And the vast majority of people will be managing their symptoms at home.
As a cardiorespiratory physiotherapist, I help people with heart and breathing problems manage and recover from a range of illnesses.
Here are some simple exercises to help you navigate COVID at home. Why should I exercise when I have COVID? Your body does need some rest when you are sick.
However, doing simple, gentle exercises while convalescing with COVID can help improve your symptoms. People who are older, overweight, or have a chronic condition, such as diabetes, or cardiovascular (heart/circulation) and respiratory (lung) disease, are more likely to have COVID symptoms.
