I've been feeling breathless while sleeping since my minor fracture surgery on my left leg at Nulife Hospital last week. During the operation, all my reports were clear. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

I'm looking at my CT scan results, and I'm not sure what to make of it. It mentions there's a subtle thin fibrotic band in the lateral segment of my right middle lobe and has a CORADS score of 3, which I think means it's indeterminate for COVID-19. I'm a bit anxious about what this might mean. Could you help me understand the report better?
need not worry since score is 0
