I've been recovering from a mild case of COVID. My CT scan showed a value of 725 about 17 days ago. Lately, for the past 10 days, I've noticed this tightness and stiffness in my chest, though there's no pain. Could you let me know what's going on? Should I be worried about this?

I'm experiencing a bit of pain in my right shoulder, kind of in the back area. I just had an X-ray on my spine, both AP and lateral views. The results mentioned something about a "suspicious opacity" in the posterior mediastinum and some pleural thickening. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit worried about it.

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
