I recently tested positive for COVID-19 on April 16th and after treatment, I got a negative result on May 8th. However, I'm now experiencing some breathing issues. My average O2 saturation levels are around 97-98. Should I be considering any kind of scan or is there something specific I should be doing?

I'm really anxious because I got a positive result after taking a TB Gold Standard test for my UAE work visa, but I'm not showing any symptoms at all. Could there be any connection between this result and HIV, even though my HIV test came back negative? I'm really worried and need some clarification on what's happening.

I'm looking for some advice from a pulmonologist. Lately, I've been feeling dizzy in the evenings and experiencing a bit of shortness of breath, even though all my blood reports are normal. I heard that Practo might have free doctors available online. Could someone take a look at my reports and help me figure out what's going on?

I've got my CT results back showing a 2.8cm mass, and my sputum test came out positive for TB. I'm really confused about what to do next. Should I start with AKT4 treatment right away, or do I still need to get a biopsy done first?
