I've been dealing with COVID for about a month now, and thankfully, it was mostly asymptomatic at the start. Lately though, I've been feeling this chest tightness or burning sensation, mainly in the evenings. Is this a normal thing to experience after having COVID, and what should I be doing about it?

View allI'm feeling pretty anxious about something and could use some advice. I've had a couple of CT scans and an x-ray on my chest over the past few months because of some severe pain I started having after recovering from COVID. My pulmonologist recommended them, but I've heard that all that radiation can cause health problems down the line. Should I be worried about the amount of radiation I've been exposed to, or are these scans generally safe?
yes regular x-rays can effect ur health in later life , minor risk

I'm dealing with a cold that originally started in my sinuses, but now it's moved down to my chest. I've got a lot of chest congestion and it's getting hard to breathe at times. I'm constantly coughing up phlegm, and sometimes I just can't seem to get relief from the coughing. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms?
I recommend taking an over-the-counter medication like Mucinex DM (guaifenesindextromethorphan) to help with chest congestion and to loosen mucus. The usual dosage is 1-2 tablets every 12 hours. Additionally, you can try using a humidifier to help with breathing and staying hydrated to help loosen the mucus. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
