Shortness if breath but SpO2 normal
I had covid two months ago and for past few days I have been feeling difficulty in breathing sometimes as in a feeling of lungs are not completely filled. However my Oxygen saturation remains normal at 96-98. I am also doing six minutes walk test and the oxygen saturation remains constant. What can be the problem?
