I'm a 45-year-old guy, and I've been diagnosed with a moderate lung infection from a CT scan after having Covid. My oxygen levels have been fairly stable, ranging from 95 to 97. I've been following my doctor's advice and taking medication for the past six days, including Nintena 150 and Predmet 8. Do you think I'll ever get back to leading a normal life again?

I'm a bit concerned because I got my x-ray report back today, and it says I have a ground glass appearance in the peripheral region of my left lung. I'm not really sure what this means or why it would happen. Could you help me understand this?

ground glass appearance can be due to various reasons of lung pathology, should correlate with your clinical symptoms

Lately, I've noticed my oxygen levels are hovering around 97-99 and my pulse rate is about 70-78, but I'm still having this on-and-off breathing issue. It feels like my chest gets heavy, especially in the evenings, and it's been going on for about 10 days now. On top of that, my stomach feels a bit swollen. Could there be something serious going on here, or should I just maybe tweak something in my routine? What do you think?
