I've been feeling a bit worried and wanted to get your insight. I'm a 52-year-old female, and its been about 20 days since I had COVID. My recent tests showed a CRP level of 47 and ESR at 52. During the COVID illness, my ESR was at 50 but CRP was lower, like 0.20, 0.60, and then 3. Now it's at 46 after a week, and my D-dimer is reading 610. Should I be worried about these results? Would love to know what this could mean.

View allI've been working out for the past couple of weeks, mainly doing pushups every evening, around 100 in 3 sets. But now I've started having this odd sensation where I struggle with breathing and swallowing when I'm having dinner. It's been going on for about three days. The feeling does go away after a while, but I'm worried. Could it have something to do with my chest muscles tightening from the pushups? I don't have asthma or anything like that. What do you think might be causing this?
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I've been recovering from dengue and it's been a week since I got better. My platelet count is over 250,000 now, but my TLC was 4000 a week ago. I'm itching to get back to my routine! I don't do heavy stuff, just some skipping and a few exercises. Is it okay for me to start again?
After recovering from dengue, it's essential to gradually resume physical activities, so you can start with low-intensity exercises like skipping and light cardio, but wait for at least 2-3 weeks before resuming full-fledged exercise routine, and ensure you're consuming a balanced diet rich in nutrients, iron, and folic acid to replenish lost platelets and support overall recovery, under the guidance of your doctor.
