I've been dealing with this chest weakness for the past three days, but I dont have any fever, cough, or cold. I'm starting to worry because I've heard that chest weakness can be a symptom of COVID-19. Should I go and get a test?

Question

I'm yawning a lot at strange times and it's happening quite often. I've also had some pain on the left side of my chest, along with discomfort in my jaw and left neck sometimes. Every now and then there's this stabbing pain between my shoulder blades. I've had heart tests and an X-ray done, and they didn't show anything wrong. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. Any ideas?

Question

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to tell the difference between a cough that's from an infection and one that's because of fluid in the lungs. At first, my doctor gave me antibiotics and cough syrup, but they didn't help my cough. Then, when my coughing got really bad, I saw another doctor who gave me Lasix, and that actually worked right away. So, is there a way to know if a cough is more likely from fluid in the lungs rather than an infection? It would really help to understand if there's a distinct difference so I can feel more sure about what's causing my cough.

Question

I'm trying to understand my echocardiography report and it's a bit confusing. It mentions terms like LVH, RWM, and systolic function, and I see numbers related to valves and arteries. It mentions things like Aorta 3.9 cm, LA 3.4 cm, and LV 5.3x3.2 cm, with an EF of 70. Could you help me figure out what this means? Is everything normal, or should I be worried?
