Hi
Looks like you had severe COVID
Now you do have exercise desaturation which means that you have severe diffusion defect. You may need supplemental oxygen while exercising.
I would omit mucinac but continue the rest. Also I don’t know why your Nintedanib has not been updated to full dose.
Next Steps
You need a proper evaluation with a consultation and not just a casual one line answer like this.
