I've been dealing with shortness of breath for a couple of months now, and I constantly feel pain on the right side of my chest. I had a spirometry test and a chest x-ray, but everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about hyperreactive airways. What does that mean, and is there anything else I should be worried about or look into?

I'm really worried because my mom tested positive for COVID two months ago, but then she turned negative after two weeks. Now she just had a CT scan of her lungs, and I'm anxious about the results. Can you take a look at the reports and let me know if there's anything off or if we should be concerned?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
