I was diagnosed with COVID on June 24th and got treatment until July 10th. When I got discharged, the doctor said I didn't need another swab test. Since then, I haven't had any symptoms or health issues. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to go back to doing cardio workouts now. Also, what precautions should I take while exercising, and is it okay to focus on weight loss?

I recently got my lab results and I'm pretty concerned because my TLC is really high at 13700, ESR is 80, and my neutrophils are also high at 80. Plus, my lymphocytes are low. The sputum gram stain shows positive cocci, but the culture report just says normal flora. I haven't had a fever, but I'm experiencing pain when I inhale, and my phlegm sometimes has a foul smell or even looks rusty brown. I've also been dealing with tonsillitis. Do you think there's a chance I might have tuberculosis, or could this just be some kind of other infection? I'd really appreciate any insights.

Do CBNAAT.

I've been feeling short of breath for quite a while now, and honestly, it's starting to worry me. I had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both came back normal, but I'm still having trouble catching my breath. And now there's this chest pain whenever I try to move around. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .
