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?

I'm having some trouble when I talk, like I can't catch my breath, and my chest feels really stiff. It's making me feel weak and drained, and honestly, I just don't feel like talking because of it. What's going on? Is this something I should be worried about?

I've recently been diagnosed with bronchitis and had this persistent cough with thick phlegm. The doctor gave me some meds, and I'm feeling better now, but he suggested doing a PFT test if possible. Now, I'm wondering if it makes sense to just do the PFT test on its own, or should I also get a chest X-ray with it? Or maybe a CT scan of the chest would give clearer results? I'd love some guidance on what's best to do next.
Chest x-ray with pft is advised to the patient.
