I was just diagnosed with asthma, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that could be temporary? I'm the only one in my family with it, and I never smoke. I used to do a lot of exercise outside in the cold mornings before, could that be why I'm experiencing this?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 61 and a BP patient who just tested positive for COVID. At first, she only had a headache and body pain with no fever, but then on the fourth day, her fever shot up to 102.6 degrees. It's been a week now, and her fever hasn't gone away, so we got a CT scan and some blood work done. The results showed a CT score of 1025, GGO, and consolidation. Her LDH is at 376, CRP at 23.94, and D-dimer is 506. Her oxygen saturation is around 96-97. I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Do you think steroids, blood thinners, and Remdesivir would be the right treatment? And should we consider admitting her to the hospital? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.

its better we start a course of steroid

I'm about to start a job in the Gulf, and I recently had a chest x-ray that showed a little grey color. I'm worried it might cause issues during the medical test for my job. Do you think it's okay to go ahead with the medical test as it is, or should I consider getting treatment first? Any advice would really help.
