I'm having some trouble with my breathing. It seems like every 5 to 10 seconds, I have to take a deep breath. I'm really wondering what could be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

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?
