I have been experiencing fever and body pain for the last 10 days. Since the past 2 days, I have developed breathing difficulties. My SpO2 is 92percent, and my pulse rate ranges between 70 to 85. Recent tests show CRP at 39.1 mg perL, Ferritin at 215.4 ng per mL, Random blood sugar is 124 mg per dL, Chest Xray done, and RTPCR has not been done yet. Should I start any additional medicines or go for an RTPCR test? I am hesitant to do the test and feeling hopeless.

These markers suggest inflammation, possibly post viral or COVID related. Breathlessness and low SpO2 need medical attention.
