I've been a bit worried because about 10 days ago, I had a fever for a couple of days right after my dad tested positive for COVID. I just assumed I might be positive too, so I quarantined myself. Now, I'm dealing with sinus issues, but most of the mucus has gone away and I've barely got any cough left. I got a chest X-ray yesterday, and I'm really concerned about whether I should be worried about pneumonia, especially since I had that brief fever and no real cough. What do you think?

I'm having trouble breathing sometimes, and it's really hard to inhale. I start feeling suffocated, and when I try to breathe through my mouth, I end up with a severe headache and feel dizzy. There are times when I even feel sort of partially paralyzed. What's going on with me?

I've been having some issues with my breathing, and it feels like I'm choking when I cough. This has been going on for the past week. Before this, I'd been dealing with a cough for about 10 days. I'm taking medication prescribed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be going on, and should I be doing something different to get relief?

I'm in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. My dad's been dealing with this interstitial-looking disease and he's currently on medication for it. The doctor said we should consider getting an oxygen concentrator for him. I want to make sure I choose the right equipment and find a reliable dealer. Could you suggest any specific models or places where I could purchase one?
