Summary
They had COVID in December 2023 and afterward could not exercise. Attempts brought a headache, sore throat, heavy chest and feeling generally unwell the next day, lasting about a week. Taking eight months off exercise made no difference, and by February 2025 they still avoided exercise for fear of feeling terrible. No treatment or recovery was reported.
