Question

I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

I'm worried because my father has tested positive for COVID-19. We did a CT scan, and it shows CORADS5. He's on medication and in home isolation right now. The thing is, he only has a cough. Does this mean it's a mild symptom, or should I be more concerned? What steps should we be taking?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my health after having a cold. My antigen test came back negative, and I've noticed my respiration rate is 14, and my SpO2 has dropped to 95 from 99 before the cold. Im wondering if the lower SpO2 could be related to the cold since I dont have fever or body aches. Could you give me some insight into this?
