I'm really worried because for the last couple of months I've been noticing dark blood streaks in my sputum, mostly in the morning or sometimes throughout the day. It's really concerning me, especially since I only see these streaks when I blow my nose and spit. The ENT I visited said my throat is inflamed and gave me a nasal spray and something called drez gargling. Even after seeing a pulmonologist and getting all sorts of tests like x-rays, blood tests, sputum tests, and urine tests, everything came back normal. I was given styptocid tablets and zady 250 mg for a few days, but the issue is still there. I dont even have a cough. What steps should I take next?

I noticed I've been breathing about 25 times a minute when I checked my respiration rate. Is that normal or is it a bit fast? If it's not typical, what might be causing this?

I'm a bit worried because it's been a month since I had COVID, and now I'm experiencing breathing issues. Its strange because when I tested positive, I didn't have any breathing problems at all. Do you know why this might be happening now?

there might be chest congestion, if it is too much difficulty of breathing do chest xray

I've been having trouble taking deep breaths at times during the day for the past 56 days. I haven't noticed any other issues, but it's starting to worry me a bit. Can you tell me what might be causing this or if it's something I should be concerned about?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient. If symtoms persists spirometry and pulmonary function tests is also advised to the patient.
