I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath, and it seems to come out of nowhere but then just disappears after a little while. Could this be a sign of asthma or something else I should be worried about?

Sudden shortness of breath that resolves on its own could be related to asthma, but it can also be caused by other conditions like anxiety, panic attacks, or cardiac issues, so it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist or an allergist, for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

Question

I'm feeling really concerned because I had COVID over 8 months ago, and it was pretty severe with CORAD 5 and pneumonia. Since then, I just haven't felt like myself. I have this ongoing pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, and now my eyesight seems to be getting blurry too. I did an ECG and echo back in October, and they looked fine, and I had a chest X-ray in December and another ECG in January, which were also normal. I'm really at a loss about what to do next. Which type of doctor should I see, and is there a chance I'll ever feel like I did before COVID without all these issues?
