I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and could really use some advice. When I'm teaching or talking a lot, I get this strange pain in my trachea, from my throat to my chest, almost like chest pain, but my ECG was normal. I've had breathlessness too, especially when putting pressure on my voice during classes. My COVID test was positive back on April 23rd and then again on May 5th. I had an HRCT on May 9th which was 0, D-dimer was 490, and CRP was 3.95. Now I'm feeling weak, have a little bit of a dry cough, a sense of cold on the inside, and some gastric issues. What do you think could be going on, and how can I address these symptoms?

View allI'm from Bangladesh and I've been told I have some nodular opacity in the right lower zone of my chest. It's getting in the way of me being able to study abroad because the embassy won't approve my application with this issue. My doctor mentioned it's not actually a disease, but I'm curious if there's any way to treat this or remove the spot from my lungs. Is there anything I can do?
you can consult a pulmonologist to find the cause for nodular opacity and treat it accordingly

I was diagnosed with COVID on 25th Feb, and my CT scan showed about 30-40% lung involvement. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days and was discharged once my vitals were normal. After 28 days of treatment, my X-ray looked completely fine. My oxygen saturation (spO2) has been around 95-98% during these 28 days, but I've become really worried about developing fibrosis after reading stuff online, so I've been checking my spO2 around 20 times a day. My doctor said everything is okay after the X-ray. Also, my 6-minute walk test shows spO2 levels around 97-98. Should I stop checking my spO2 so often? If not, how long should I continue measuring it? I'm really scared, but I haven't had any fevers. Could you guide me, please?
