I'm a bit concerned because I recovered from COVID-19 about 15 days ago, but I still have some lingering issues. I had a mild case with just a loss of smell, but now I'm experiencing weakness, constant hunger, headaches, gastric problems, and some breathing difficulties. My oxygen levels dropped to 94-96 while they're usually 98-99. Is this something I should be worried about? What should I do?

I'm really concerned because I've been having chest pain almost non-stop for about a month now. Plus, my cough just keeps coming back every couple of days. Things have gotten worse since I've now developed a fever and my cough has phlegm with it. What could be going on with me?
