I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should watch out for after having a CT pulmonary angiogram a month ago? Also, can a pulmonary embolism develop sometime after the procedure? I've been having chest pain around the area under both my armpits, and it's got me a bit worried. Could this be related?

I'm really worried because his oxygen levels are dropping, but the RTPCR test came back negative. We're still concerned it might be Covid. The problem is there's no oxygen cylinder or bed available, and we can't get through to the MH LKO team members for any support or medicine. We feel so helpless watching his condition worsen. Can you please advise us on what to do?

I recently tested positive for COVID-19 on April 16th and after treatment, I got a negative result on May 8th. However, I'm now experiencing some breathing issues. My average O2 saturation levels are around 97-98. Should I be considering any kind of scan or is there something specific I should be doing?
