I'm really concerned about this shortness of breath I've been having for the past 10 days. My oxygen saturation is between 97 and 98, but I don't feel it when I'm walking quickly and I sleep just fine. I had mild COVID symptoms back in October 2020, and the shortness of breath was there until December, but everything's been alright for the past 3.5 months. I even got a CT scan through my pulmonologist, and everything seemed okay. But what's weird is if my mind is busy, I don't notice it, and if I try to take a deep breath on purpose, I just can't. What might be going on?

I've been noticing this odd breathing noise coming from my throat. It's like a hiss, hiss, hiss sound when I breathe in and out, but it doesn't happen all the time. It usually shows up when I'm short of breath after running. I feel okay, but the noise has me a bit worried. It's kind of like a high-pitched puffing noise. Any idea what might be causing this?
The high-pitched "hiss" or puffing noise you're hearing while breathing after running could be related to slight airway narrowing or a bit of congestion, which can occur when you're short of breath. If you're not experiencing other symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, or discomfort, it may not be a major concern, but if it persists, it could be worth discussing with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues like mild asthma or respiratory irritation.

I'm currently taking ATT, and about ten minutes after taking my Rifampin and Isoniazid or R Cinex this morning, I ended up vomiting. I'm really concerned about whether I need to take another tablet today or just wait until tomorrow. Could this affect my treatment?
You vomited after taking Rifampin+Isoniazid (R Cinex) this morning. It is likely that you did not fully absorb the medication. In this case, it is recommended not to take another dose today. However, if you continue to vomit or experience any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
