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 worried about my Mantoux test results from a few days ago. I attached some pictures here. Can you take a look and let me know if it seems positive or negative? Unfortunately, the pathology lab where I had the test done is closed for a couple of days, and I'm a bit anxious. Just for some context, I had tuberculosis two years back and completed the full course of treatment. Now my doctor suggested this test because I've been having body pain again. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been having this really odd experience where my oxygen levels are consistently around 98 to 100, and my blood pressure is at 12074, which seems normal. But at night, I often feel like I'm not getting enough air or like I can't breathe, even though the oximeter says I'm at 99 to 100. It'll wake me up, and it makes sleeping kind of an anxiety-riddled task because I'm worried about not being able to breathe even when I'm actually doing it. I talked to a doctor about it, and they had me do a chest x-ray and liver function test, which came back alright, and gave me some meds. Still, when I try to sleep, there's this constant fear of being short of breath, and, for like 10 to 15 seconds, I actually do feel breathless. Any advice on what might be going on?

since your saturation is normal, it might be due to anxiety . try reducing your stress

I'm really worried and confused. My husband tested positive for COVID-19 after his third RTPCR test. We consulted three different doctors, and now his HRCT chest scan shows mild involvement with a score of 625. Can he recover at home with medication? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion, and Im not sure which advice to follow. What should I do?

take tablet doxycycline for twice a day for 5 days
