I'm having trouble breathing properly. Whenever I walk up the stairs to the second floor, my chest starts to hurt and I can't catch my breath. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I just have these breathing problems. What could be causing this?

I recently got over COVID-19 and tested negative on April 30th, 2021. During the illness, I had a CT score of 1025, so it was moderately severe. Now that I'm recovering, I'm experiencing mild chest pain pretty regularly. I had a CRP test done, and the result came back as 7.17 mgL. Is that CRP level normal?

A CRP value of 7.17mgL is slightly elevated, indicating some degree of inflammation in your body. It is recommended to monitor this value and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain.

I was covid positive and just got a negative test result on May 22nd. My SR value was 16.44. I didnt really have any big issues, just a little fever and body pain. But now, even after a month, my oxygen levels have dropped from 98 to 94 and they're not going up. Should I be worried? What should I do?

do chest x ray and review further

I'm really worried about my father's CO2 level, which is at 85 in his blood. He's currently in the ICU at IGIMS Patna. Can anyone advise on how we might be able to lower it? Is it possible to reduce his CO2 level while he's there?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
