Question

Is it possible to have trouble breathing even though my oxygen level is showing 99%? I'm asthmatic and dealing with congestion today, but the oximeter is reading normal. Should I be worried about COVID?

Question

I caught covid back on April 6th and ended up in the hospital for a couple of weeksspent about 4 days in the ICU with some oxygen support, steroids, and remdesivir. They let me go on April 22nd. But here's the thing, I just went to this lab for an MRI and a CT scan to check for any black fungal infection. There were covid patients around, and one went into the CT scan room right before me. I had to take off my N95 mask for the scan, and now I'm freaking out a bit about possibly getting re-infected. Should I be worried about this?

Question

I'm really worried because I've found blood in my sputum. Could you help me understand what might be causing this issue? Also, which type of doctor should I consult for this condition?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my oxygen saturation levels after recovering from COVID. Sometimes, while I'm sleeping, my SpO2 drops to around 91-92, but during the day it seems normal at 95. My CT scan showed a value of 1225. Should I be worried about these numbers, and how long might it take for everything to get back to normal?
