I'm curious about something that's been happening since I had Covid a couple of months ago. I've been noticing a drop in my stamina and I'm experiencing wheezing. It tends to get better when I'm active outdoors, but I still need my inhaler pretty often. Is this something that's going to stick around for a while, or can I expect it to improve eventually?

I've just had a chest X-ray, and while most of it looks good, there's this one finding that says "tenting of the left diaphragm grade 1.1." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about health-wise? Could there be a link to my heart or any other reasons for this? What kind of symptoms should I keep an eye out for?

Based on your symptoms and self-examination, it's possible that you may have: 1. Anal fissure 2. Sentinel pile (a type of hemorrhoid) 3. Anal abscess Consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. Digital rectal examination (DRE) 2. Anoscopy 3. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) In the meantime, consider: - Increasing fiber intake - Staying hydrated - Avoiding straining during bowel movements - Applying topical creams or ointments (e.g., hydrocortisone) for symptom relief

I've been using Symbicort for about 2.5 years now, just one puff twice a day. I'm 25, and recently I had a spirometry test done. My FVC came out to be 85 and my FEV1 was 80. After taking a bronchodilator and retaking the test, there wasn't a significant change. My doctor mentioned that I might just be on the low side of normal, possibly with intermittent asthma or maybe nothing at all. But then I came across information suggesting that a lack of improvement in the reversibility test could point to COPD. So now I'm wondering, should I be concerned about COPD, or am I getting ahead of myself?
