COVID Impacting Health - Thinking of Leaving

Hi All,

Hope everyone is keeping safe. About a month ago I caught COVID, and the effects are still lingering (chest pains, chronic fatigue, sleep apnea). While dealing with these problems, it is obviously not ideal to work in banking because of the long hours and stress. In addition to this I am trying to lateral. I was just wondering how it would look if I left my job to focus on my health, and how would banks try perceive this when I have to explain a gap in my resume? Will they be reluctant to take me on, even if I can sort my health problems out?
