I have the exact same experience.

It took about 100 days before my wife could start working again, and she is still experiencing chest pain, breathlessness and fatigue (at first symptoms + 115 days).

She was told to endure and rest. What a great plan.

There is no other known treatment. Or basically no known treatment.
I'm not a doctor, but I would argue against rest.

By that I mean, endure ... sure, but focus hopefully on calisthenics, breathing exercises, yoga, taking supplemental vitamins and improving physical fitness.

Typically post surgery doctors recommend PT ... I'm just saying start some regular PT post illness -- not "rest".
