I'm really worried about my mom. She's 68 and has been having this pain in her lower breast and rib area. Her CECT chest scan says it's likely COVID pneumonia, but the RTPCR test came back negative. Her CTSI score is 325, and she's got a mild cough, but no fever. Could this still be COVID? What should I do next?

I'm a bit worried about some health stuff and hoping you can give me a bit of clarity. I saw a pulmonologist, and they did an X-ray. The ECG was normal, but it showed pulmonary ventricular contractions. My oximeter reading was 99 for oxygen and 123 for heart rate. The doctor said I dont have any breathing problems, but I am feeling short of breath and a tight chest. Could I have COPD? What kind of oximeter reading should a COPD patient have, or when should I be concerned about my breathing? I dont have any allergies, cough, or cold. Would really appreciate some guidance here.
