My lungs have been compromised with scar tissue for years from radiation treatments that I had 35 years ago for Hodgkins disease (cancer). I noticed early this year that I couldn't keep up with my wife/daughter on our weekly hikes, and had to stop, and catch my breath on the uphill sections.
I believe that I may have had covid in November 2019 (before it was widespread in America) when I was treated for a upper respiratory infection by my family doctor.
I am now trying to rehab my lung capacity, by staying active, and pushing myself, but it's a long slow road. I still work full time, cut firewood, hike/bike, and kayak, but everything seems harder now.
