I'm experiencing some breathing difficulties when I first start walking, but it seems to get better after a bit. Could this be related to anxiety? I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Would appreciate any advice you might have.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had COVID and her HRCT score was 825. She took azithromycin, ivermectin, and multivitamin like Limcee for five days, and now she's feeling okay, but she's still testing positive. Does she need any more treatment for her lungs? Do we need to do anything else?

the treatment given above is enough . ask her to do spirometry exercises
