This research project is investigating abnormal breathing patterns that some people experience long after having COVID-19. Researchers want to understand why these breathing problems happen, measure them accurately, and test whether a personalized breathing exercise program can help restore normal breathing and improve quality of life.
Many people continue to struggle with breathing difficulties months or years after COVID-19, but doctors don't fully understand what causes these problems or the best way to treat them. This study aims to fill that gap by developing and testing a tailored breathing rehabilitation program.

You will be part of a larger long-term study tracking recovery after COVID-19. You'll complete breathing assessments and tests, participate in interviews about your experiences, and receive an individually tailored breathing exercise program designed for your specific needs. The study involves visits to the clinic over time, with researchers monitoring how the breathing exercises affect your physical function, mood, and overall quality of life.
