"Hi,
I wondered if anyone else is coming back to clarinet playing after a c-19 infection (suspected or confirmed)?
I had my first lesson today after 8 weeks of the infection and I ran out of oomph after 14 minutes and my lungs still hurt 10 hours later. I know I shouldn't ask a GP, as they're busy and I'm basically fine, but I wondered if anyone is the same situation to compare notes, or knows anything about lungs and breathing and clarinets all at the same time?
I'm a plant scientist and I know just enough about lungs and respiratory physiology to know that I am out of my depth trying to figure this out by myself…"

I think you overdid it.
Ideally, you would want the doctor to listen to your lungs and make sure they are clear and you don't have any fluid there. But this is not an ideal world.
I would not take any lessons at this point. I would start blowing long notes, from 5 to 10 min. maximum, at a time. However, you could practice long notes 3-5 x per day, just keep it short.
You would start increasing the practice time slowly, like 1-2 min. every couple of days, as you can tolerate.
Try the above and post back here in a few days, so others could learn if the tactics worked. It should.
Good luck!
