Question

Hey, so I just got an HRCT chest scan for Covid-19, and it turns out there's subsegmental atelectasis in the posterior segment of my right upper lobe. Can someone tell me what this means? What might have caused it? Is this something serious like cancer? And is there a way to treat it? Also, where can I find a top doctor for this? A little backgroundI had TB back in 2010 and was treated for it, plus I do smoke.

Question

I'm a 28-year-old woman who works out regularly. My mom has a pulse oximeter at home and I decided to use it just for fun. When I was resting, my blood oxygen level was 99, but after a short run on the treadmill it went down to 86. My heart rate was only around 130. Usually, I work out a lot more intensely than I did during this test. I'm worried that I might unknowingly be harming my body. Do you think I should get this checked? If so, what kind of doctor would be best for evaluating this situation?

Question

I've been struggling with getting a cough and cold over and over again. It's strange because I don't really cough during the day, but at night it gets so bad that I can't sleep properly. What could be causing this, and what can I do to get a good night's sleep?
