I'm dealing with COVID for a second time and am currently on my 5th day of quarantine. When I check my oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter, the readings vary depending on which finger I use. Which figure should I trust? And also, my ct value on the RT-PCR test came out to be 27. Does that indicate anything concerning or am I in the safe zone?

View allMy father's chest X-ray report is showing some concerning stuff and I'm quite worried. There's mention of something like a fibrotic patch with volume loss and consolidative opacities in the right upper zone, and it also says the right hilum is pulled up. The right dome of the diaphragm seems elevated with some opacity in the right CP angle. But it also mentions that the hili, CP angles, and the heart are normal, as well as the rib cage. There's a part about "FSO Koch's etiology" that makes me think it needs more investigation. Could you help me understand what all this means and what steps should be taken next?

I've been dealing with a breathing issue for the past three months. I can breathe fine through my nose, but when I try using my mouth, it's like I can't get a full breath, and sometimes I feel a pain in my chest. It's been worrying me. Could there be something going on with my lungs or chest that I should get checked out?

I've been having a tough time with wheezing, chest congestion, and breathing issues whenever the weather changes or I'm around dust. I'm allergic to dust and pollution, and it's really becoming a problem. Sometimes, I have to rely on my inhaler, but I'm trying to find a way to live a healthier life without having to use it so much. Any advice on how I can manage this better and reduce my inhaler use?
Good decision
