Summary
Puffin 10265, a 27-year-old man, had mild COVID-19 in April 2022 and was recovering when he ramped a weightlifting session to over 80% intensity two weeks after symptoms began. He developed chest pain during the workout and a month later still had chest anxiety, shortness of breath and could not exercise. X-rays, EKGs and blood tests showed nothing; he planned to be patient and focus on breathing exercises and reading.
