Question 1

I'm feeling like there's a weight on my chest, and every so often, it really hurts. I've had COVID twice but I'm on the mend now. I was thinking of getting a chest x-ray, but I noticed there are different kinds, like AP view and lateral view. I'm not sure which one I should go for. Can you help?
