I'm not sure what's been going on with me for the past 20 days. I've been feeling this shortness of breath, and when I try to take a deep breath, it feels like my heart's under pressure. My heart rate seems to jump around a lot too. It's scaring me a bitcould this be something serious like COVID-19? A local doctor mentioned something about swelling in my breathing pipe, but I'm not convinced. I've had various tests done like ECG, TSH, LFT, Creatinine, and a CT scan of my stomachall normal. This was all done at Fortis Hospital in Noida. The reports only mentioned an enlarged spleen, and the gastro doc said my digestive system is fine. This is the first time I've experienced such breathing issues, and it's really worrying me. I've attached my X-ray. Could you tell me if the prescribed treatment is safe and if it might help?

I'm really worried about my dad. It's been 15 days since he got out of the hospital after having COVID-19. They told us to get a post-COVID test, and now the X-ray shows he's got hazy opacities in the mid to lower parts of both lungs. He also had pneumonia when he was dealing with COVID. Can you tell me what's going on and what we should do?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I first had a fever on the 10th of October, but now it's just a persistent cough. I tested positive for COVID-19 on the 23rd. The fever's gone but I'm stuck with this cough. I'm currently taking doxycycline, Montelukast, LC Mucinac 600, Pantoprazole, Zincovit, and Limcee. I'm feeling better today, but should I be worried about any complications from the virus? And any thoughts on how long this might last?

14 days time is required for complete recovery and to be free from infection.
