View allI'm really concerned because since yesterday I've been experiencing this chest pain on the right side whenever I exhale. It's like a sharp pain whenever I breathe out. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this, and what should I do?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a pulmonary embolism or pleurisy. However, if it is determined to be musculoskeletal in nature, you can consider taking ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area may also help alleviate the discomfort. Remember to rest and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention promptly.

I've been dealing with some leftover issues after my covid recovery about two months ago, and I'm worried. I was diagnosed with Corad 4 lung infection, and at the worst, my severity score was 1425.

Also, I'm a bit confused about what breathlessness means in the context of covidis it supposed to be like shortness of breath or more about having difficulty in breathing? Can you give me some clarity on this?
breathlessness means difficulty in breathing. it will take time to resolve the opacities
