Summary
A Reddit user in r/LongCovid said their post-COVID shortness of breath resolved fully after about four months; the only thing they took then was famotidine, and they were unsure whether it or time helped. Some fatigue and acid reflux remained. After a year their reflux had gradually eased, which they tentatively credited to a two-week course of a Japanese supplement, Cabejin, while also taking probiotics and trying slippery elm.

Tried this Japanese supplement called cabejin for two weeks. Surprisingly since then I've had less GERD, maybe it was the supplement

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
