View allI'm really worried because I tested IGG positive in July and had an unknown fever in June. Now I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my chest and stomach, and sometimes it's a bit hard to breathe. I also feel dizzy all day and can't seem to have a restful night's sleep. I read somewhere that people could have lung issues after having COVID. Can you please advise on what might be going on?

I've just got my health check-up done, and while most things are in the normal range, my eosinophils count is a bit high at 11.6. I've started taking banocide tablets for the past couple of days. Lately, I've begun feeling a little uneasy when I breathe. I did an ECG and chest X-ray, and those came back normal. Do you think the banocide will help with the breathing issue, or should I be looking into other medication?
Yes, continue same treatment.

I've been having trouble breathing and I'm worried it might be because of tar clotting in my lungs. Is there any way to get rid of that tar buildup?
Tar buildup in the lungs, often due to smoking, can cause breathing difficulties. While it can't be fully "removed" like foreign objects, quitting smoking and adopting healthy habits like deep breathing exercises, a nutritious diet, and sometimes medications can help improve lung function and reduce further damage. Consulting a pulmonologist is crucial for tailored treatment.
