I've been keeping track of my symptoms since I caught covid. Initially, I had a high fever of around 102 for the first three days, but now it's settled to about 99 over the last 48 hours. My Spo2 levels are at 99, and I have a bit of a cough, though it's not too bad. Since today marks my 7th day, I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to start taking Medrol. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hydration and rest: Keep yourself hydrated and rest adequately to help your immune system fight the virus. Symptom management: Continue with medications like paracetamol for fever or any prescribed cough syrups or other symptom relievers. Follow-up: Regularly monitor your SpO2 levels (especially if symptoms worsen), and if you're unsure about needing steroids, contact your doctor.

Question

I'm really concerned about the pain I've been having in my leg muscles for the past couple of years. My blood pressure keeps fluctuating between 160110 and 12586, but I really want to avoid taking any meds for it because I think I can change my lifestyle to control it. Also, my vitamin D level is at 8.0, and I noticed my cholesterol total is 218, with LDL at 157. What steps should I take to address these issues and improve my overall health?

Question

I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?
