I'm a bit worried because my test results showed high hemoglobin and PCV levels. I'm a regular smoker and recently I've been having issues with breathing, occasional chest pain, and a persistent cough. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

View allI'm a bit worried about my X-ray report. It mentions mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and a horizontal fissure. Is this something I should be concerned about? I recently had a cold with a cough and fever for a few days, but after taking antibiotics, the fever's gone. That's why I went for a chest X-ray. Could you help me understand what these findings mean?

I've been dealing with post-COVID issues and I'm really worried. Had COVID about six weeks ago, recovered at home, but after 15 days started having breathing difficulties and fatigue. The first doctor gave me the Foracart inhaler, but it caused a throat infection, so I stopped and took antibiotics instead. Then I got really bad allergy symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose, and my shortness of breath got worse. I changed doctors and they tested my IGe and PFT. The PFT came back normal, but my IGe is 3050. I was given Momeflo Montek BL for a month. Should I be concerned about this? And how long might it take for me to start feeling better?
take the medicine atleast for 10 to 15 days.avoid allergens like dust
