Question

I'm just a bit concerned about some lingering symptoms after recovering from COVID-19. I spent 9 days in the hospital and was discharged once my symptoms eased up. My CT chest report mentioned 5 to 10 viral pneumonia with no fibrosis, and they said it was corad 5. Bloodwork was all normal. It's been 30 days now, but I still have a mild dry cough, tightness in my chest, and occasional nausea that comes and goes. Is this something to worry about, or is it a normal part of the recovery process? Also, is the 5 to 10 viral pneumonia significant, or nothing too serious?

Question

I've been noticing a weird sound coming from my lungs every time I breathe. It's really thin, and sometimes I have a cough too. Whenever I work hard, I get short of breath. I haven't had any chest pain or noticed any blood, but the sound in my breath and the shortness of breath are concerning. What do you think might be going on?

Question

I'm feeling this weird vibration in my right lower lung when I breathe, mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep. There's no pain, just this funny sensation. But sometimes if I take a deep breath or move a certain way, I get a sharp, needle-like pain. It's growing concerning, and I'm wondering what's going on. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

I'm really feeling confused and a bit worried. So, here's the thing: I got tested since I had a dry cough. Both the Covid antigen and PCR tests came back negative. But when I went to the hospital for the dry cough, they did something called an HRCT and noted a GGO and something about CORAD5. I'm not sure what this means. Could you explain what it's all about and if it's serious? I'm really not sure what to think here.
