This sounds like something you sound see your PCP about.

Because this says covid. Loudly.
I did not test for covid because the symptoms were not at all like the other times I have had covid. I had lots of sneezing and nasal congestion, but no fatigue, no shortness of breath, no fever.
But even if it was covid, it was two weeks ago, so testing won't help.
The not being out of breath from exercise, or at least not more so than usual, but being out of breath from talking is weird to me. Is that a covid symptom?
Symptoms change for COVID with the variants over times. yes, the shortness of breath was my lingering COVID symptom in 2023, so even back then it was an issue.
But on a another note, why would being out of breath from talking be "weird"? It is not clear what you mean by that. Just because one hasn't experienced something in their life yet doesn't mean it can't happen now.
I guess I think it's weird that I get out of breath from talking, but not from exercise. I can't figure out why in the past exercise has made me out of breath, but never talking, and now it's flipped.
If both were making me out of breath, that wouldn't seem weird to me. I have not heard, in any version of covid, that it would make one out of breath when talking, without also making them out of breath while exercising.

Plus don’t decide whether or not you have COVID based upon previous infections. The virus mutates over time, and your immune system reacts differently based upon exposure.
You should have tested yourself.
That part. There's a whole new strain of covid going around (yes, here too), and you're not hearing about it because we've made america healthy again, or some other stupidity.
Test for covid next time. Honestly, if you're still symptomatic, you might as well test now too.

The new covid has different symptoms. You could have long covid.
Get a pulse oximeter that shows irregular heartbeat also. I thought it was my asthma but it was palpitations making my chest feel funny.

This happens to me. I think I'm just out of shape.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Doctor?
Anxiety will do that. Get out and exercise and get out of your head so much so you don't think about it. Before you know it you are running marathons and realizing, hey I'm not out of breath anymore!

I thought the symptoms of low iron were fatigue, and general shortness of breath. I don't have either of those.
