I'm COVID positive, but my chest X-ray is normal, and my CRP and D-dimer levels are really low. My blood tests, liver function tests, and vitamin levels are normal too, and I don't have diabetes, fever, or body aches. My oxygen levels are above 96 most of the time. It's been almost 14 days since I tested positive. Im really puzzled because I still feel like I can't breathe properly through my nose, almost like the air isn't getting in. It feels like I'm breathing rapidly and shallowly. I do have sinusitis, a deviated nasal septum, and nasal polyps, but I've had those for 3 years and theyve been inactive with no symptoms until now. Could these be causing problems now because of COVID? I'm feeling really down and dont know which doctor I should consult about this. Any advice?

I'm a 27-year-old male nurse working in the surgery OT and I've had chronic pharyngitis for 3 months now. I've tried meds like tab Lnz, tab Dexa, and tab Razo D but nothing seems to work. Lately, I've been getting this weird chest pain right in the center every morning and it's making me really worried what could be going on?

Good morning. I have septoplasty with facial endoscopic sinus surgery on Tuesday what should i do or precautions. I am little bit nervous

It's understandable to feel nervous before a surgery. For your septoplasty and facial endoscopic sinus surgery, focus on following your surgeon's instructions, which will likely include avoiding strenuous activity, keeping the surgical site clean, and potentially using saline rinses. Rest, hydration, and a gentle approach to recovery are key
