Question 1

I'm really in need of some advice on this annoying chest pain I've been experiencing. I had covid back in January with a really bad cough and something called "covid tongue." My HRCT scan looked normal, and I was treated with Fabiflu. But a week after I started feeling better, I began getting this dull chest pain mostly around my sternum. I got an X-ray, which mentioned increased bronchovascular prominence, and a PFT showed COPD in the restrictive area with moderate obstruction. My doctor put me on Foracort 200 and some muscle relaxants, which helped, but the pain still bugs me at night, sometimes radiating to my mid-back. I've had two normal ECGs and another CT scan recently, which showed nothing unusual in my lungs. It's been four months, and I'm still waking up with this chest pain. What's going on with me, and how much longer might this take to get better?

Accepted Answer

it is restrictive lung disease and it will almost take 2-3 months to treat it

Question 2

Lately, I've noticed my oxygen levels are hovering around 97-99 and my pulse rate is about 70-78, but I'm still having this on-and-off breathing issue. It feels like my chest gets heavy, especially in the evenings, and it's been going on for about 10 days now. On top of that, my stomach feels a bit swollen. Could there be something serious going on here, or should I just maybe tweak something in my routine? What do you think?

Accepted Answer

take tab pantop for 3 days

Question 3

I've been noticing that I'm getting white and clear sputum, and I'm a bit concerned. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm not sure if this is something I should get checked out. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

it is normal only, try having hot water for drinking

No need to worry, when you are tested negative you are free from disease, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
