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've been in the hospital for Covid back in Aug 2020 due to breathing issues. My oxygen levels are now at 93 with a normal pulse rate, but if I climb stairs or do any kind of activity, my oxygen level drops to 79 and my pulse rate shoots up from 128 to 135. I'm regularly doing breathing exercises and using a spirometer, drinking lots of fluids, and sleeping in a prone position. I'm currently on Nintena 100, Doxolin 400, Mucinac 600, Rantac 150, Azithral 250, and Ecospain 75. Can you suggest how I can increase my oxygen levels?

I recently got over COVID-19 and tested negative on April 30th, 2021. During the illness, I had a CT score of 1025, so it was moderately severe. Now that I'm recovering, I'm experiencing mild chest pain pretty regularly. I had a CRP test done, and the result came back as 7.17 mgL. Is that CRP level normal?
A CRP value of 7.17mgL is slightly elevated, indicating some degree of inflammation in your body. It is recommended to monitor this value and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain.
