I'm a bit concerned and curious about something. After having COVID a month ago, all my symptoms have gone away, and my SpO2 levels have been normal for a while. My chest X-ray came back normal too, which is reassuring, but I'm wondering if its still possible for there to be any fibrosis that wouldnt show up yet? Or does a normal X-ray mean everything's clear? Im just trying to understand what a normal X-ray really tells me at this point. I'm 34 and havent had any other symptoms.

View allI've been struggling with a stuffed nose and trouble breathing for the past month, plus some chest pain for the last two weeks. I've seen a few doctors and tried medications for acidity, but nothing seems to help. I'm really anxious about whether this could be COVID-19, and I'm having trouble sleeping at night because of it. What could be going on?
do chest x ray

I'm having trouble breathing, especially when I eat or after doing a bit of exercise. I also deal with anxiety and panic disordercould that be causing my shortness of breath, or should I be worried about something else? Can you help me figure this out?

I'm dealing with some psychological issues like anxiety and depression for the past 5 years, but I finally managed to overcome them about a year ago. Recently, though, I've been having breathlessness, and my doctor prescribed Medrol 4 mg to take every morning at 10 a.m. However, after taking it, I feel really uncomfortable, tired, and unsatisfied. I'm worried if Medrol is harmful to me, should I continue using it, or maybe stop? What other options are there for addressing my breathing issues?
It's understandable that you're feeling uncomfortable with Medrol (a corticosteroid). While it can help with inflammation, long-term use may cause side effects like tiredness and mood changes. Its important to discuss your concerns with your doctor, as they may suggest alternative treatments or adjust your medication. For your breathing issues, further evaluation might be needed to identify the cause, and your doctor can guide you on the best next steps.
