I was curious if the lung fibrosis that develops after having COVID is usually restrictive or does it tend to be progressive? I've attached my CT scan report from after my COVID treatment for some context. During my hospital stay, I received remdesivir injections.

Post-COVID lung fibrosis is typically restrictive, meaning it limits lung expansion and reduces lung capacity. However, its progression can vary depending on the severity and individual response to treatment. If you have concerns, please consult your doctor for a more personalized assessment.

View allI'm a bit concerned because for the past year, I've been dealing with excess mucus, especially in the morning, and it's usually yellow or gray. I did an IgE test and an X-ray back in April, and the doctor said it was a seasonal allergy, suggesting I take Montek LC at bedtime for a month, but I only stuck with it for a week. Occasionally, about once a week or even less, I get shortness of breath around bedtime. Recently, I got the Covaxin vaccine about five days ago, and since then, I've noticed that my blood pressure is a bit low at 10570, and I've been getting shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat at times. Could this be from the vaccine, or is it the allergies acting up? I also experience some gastric issues, like passing a lot of gas. I work out almost daily and don't have any other health problems, my SPO2 levels are usually between 96 and 98. What do you think I should do for treatment?
gastritis and anxiety

I'm 67 and had COVID pneumonia last December. It's been a year, and I just got a chest X-ray. The results say something about Blunt rt CP angle Pleural effusion thickening and a few NHD lesions, which might be old infection sequelae. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it normal after having COVID pneumonia?
