Summary
This study looked at whether weakness in the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, causes ongoing shortness of breath and fatigue in people who had COVID-19 but were not hospitalized. Researchers measured breathing muscle strength and used ultrasound in 25 adults. The goal was to better understand why some people still feel breathless after a mild COVID infection.
