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've been dealing with this annoying nose issue ever since I got hit with a football a while back. My nose was bleeding at first, but that was just once and luckily the pain has gone away. But I've been stuck with this cold and a blocked nose, especially the left side, ever since. Ive been using Nosikind 0.1 but it only helps temporarily, and after around 6 to 7 hours, the blockage comes back. At the start, it was super bad, but now its a bit less intense. Still, I haven't seen any real improvement this past week. What should I do next? Any advice?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I'm really struggling with this sinus issue caused by a deviated septum. Its been two years now, and it's been really persistent. Over the past couple of months, I've had sinus pain four or five times, and it's different each time. Sometimes its a sore throat, other times breathlessness or chest tightness, and then it could be facial pain or heaviness and pain in my nose. Is there any permanent solution for this? I'm just worried because it keeps coming back, and I'm not sure what to do.
