I recently got over COVID-19 and tested negative on April 30th, 2021. During the illness, I had a CT score of 1025, so it was moderately severe. Now that I'm recovering, I'm experiencing mild chest pain pretty regularly. I had a CRP test done, and the result came back as 7.17 mgL. Is that CRP level normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A CRP value of 7.17mgL is slightly elevated, indicating some degree of inflammation in your body. It is recommended to monitor this value and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain.

I'm having trouble with heavy breathing, especially at night and in the morning. It gets worse when I run or do even small exercises. I feel really tired and like I'm not getting enough oxygen. When I cough, there's some pain in my chest, and I have a bit of nose congestion too. Does this sound serious? What could be causing it?

I'm really worried about my friend who has sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma; the doctor recommended an inhaler and the medicine ecosprin AV75. I'm concerned about the possible side effects of ecosprin AV75. Also, how long should my friend keep taking it? Is it something they should continue indefinitely or stop at some point?
Ecosprin AV 75 is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is commonly used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in patients with cardiovascular disease. Some common side effects of Ecosprin AV 75 include stomach upset, heartburn, dizziness, and easy bruising. In rare cases, it can also cause more serious side effects such as stomach bleeding or liver problems. The duration of Ecosprin AV 75 treatment should be determined by your friend's doctor based on their individual medical condition. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions regarding when to stop or continue the medication. In general, Ecosprin AV 75 is usually taken long-term to prevent cardiovascular events, but the duration may vary depending on the specific situation. It is important not to stop taking Ecosprin AV 75 without consulting the doctor first, as sudden discontinuation can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
