I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now, and I'm really concerned. So, I had a fever for nearly two weeks starting around mid-April, and the highest it got was 103.5 degrees. It seemed like COVID since I had symptoms like loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, weakness, and a persistent headache, but my COVID tests came back negative. I ended up in the hospital for a day and a half, and after getting some treatment, my fever went away. But I still can't catch a deep breath; I get winded easily, even with minimal activity. It's been about a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and this issue hasn't improved. What kind of doctor should I see, and what steps can I take to address this? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

I've been noticing a strange sensation whenever I take a deep breath, like something's moving in my windpipe. I've checked multiple times and even had an X-ray, which didn't show anythingjust air. I do deal with a lot of gas in my bowels. Could it be gas moving in my windpipe, or is it something else? There's no mucus or phlegm coming out, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?

I'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?
