I'm really worried because while I was drinking a liquid, I suddenly felt a terrible pain in my chest and lung area that lasted for a couple of minutes. I'm scared that I might have gotten some fluid in my lungs. What should I do? Is this something serious?

I recently had an HRCT scan and it came back with a CORADS 1 score. I'm wondering if this scan can still show evidence of past COVID or other viral infections even though it's been about a month since I might have had them. Could you help me understand what this result means for my health right now?

yes

I've been a bit worried lately. I tested positive for COVID on May 2, 2021, and thankfully, it was a mild case with my oxygen levels staying normal. But now, two months later, I'm noticing something odd. When I'm just sitting around, my oxygen level is usually at 97 or 96, which is okay, I guess. But when I start moving around, like climbing stairs or even just taking a walk, it drops to 92 or 93. I'm wondering why this happens? Should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It showed a soft tissue attenuation lesion and several lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm. I had a bronchoscopy and the biopsy results came back normal. Should I still consider getting a PET scan, or is it alright to just let it be? I'm not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate your insight.

just leave it
