I'm really worried because for the past three weeks I've been experiencing shortness of breath. I initially thought it might be related to COVID-19, so I consulted a pulmonologist online who suggested some tests like serum CBC and an X-ray. But before I got those tests done, I panicked and went to the hospital emergency, and they said it was due to anxiety. I felt fine for about 10 days, but the problem is back. The shortness of breath happens for about 10 minutes, especially when I'm eating, drinking or working, but I feel normal when I lay down. It comes in episodes, and each time I feel more anxious. I had a cough for two months before all this started and used two bottles of Ambrodil. The shortness of breath started after the cough stopped. I'm not sure what to do, especially since I can't visit a doctor in person due to COVID restrictions. I also had a C-section about 5 months ago. Can I get some advice on what to do next?

I'm really worried about my mom; she's 55 and her recent CT scan showed a severity score of 13. The report mentioned something about "ground glass opacity" in her lungs, possibly suggesting viral pneumonitis. Does this mean she has a severe case of COVID?
