I'm dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis and recently did a reverse spirometry test. My FEV1FVC came out to be 81 and my FEV1 was 71. After using a bronchodilator inhaler, there was no change in these values. Should I be worried? Especially since my chest X-ray and blood tests turned out normal?

I'm a bit concerned and curious about the recent chest X-ray report for a loved one who had COVID-19 about a month ago. It mentions bilateral scanty infiltrations of mixed nature with some irregular breakdowns, gross bronchial catarrh, and prominent bronchovascular markings. It also says the hilar shadow is heavy, the heart shadow is normal, and the left costophrenic angle is slightly blurred. Should I be worried about these findings, or is this normal as someone recovers from COVID-19?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.
