I'm really concerned about my situation. It's been about 15 days since I recovered from COVID-19, and now I'm dealing with shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, and occasional chest pain. Sometimes it even feels like there's a sharp, needle-like pain. I haven't had any investigations or tests done yet. Could you advise me on what I should do next and which type of doctor I should consult? I'm a bit worried and could really use your guidance.

I've been dealing with some chest pain and discomfort since I had COVID back in late April. I tested negative by early May, but about 10 days later, I started feeling pain in both my lungs and back. I talked to my doctor about it and they had me take antibiotics, but that didn't really help. Now, the pain is mostly on the left side and stretches up to my neck. I tried painkillers for five days and that gave me a little relief, but the pain comes back once I stop the medicine. I also had an online chat with a pulmonologist in June and they suggested Chymoral Plus for a week, saying not to worry too much. My CT scan severity index was 525 in early May. I'm just wondering what steps I should take now for better results. Could you offer some advice?

I'm a 55-year-old woman and my SPO2 level is usually above 95, but I've been having these on-and-off episodes of breathlessness. It's a bit unsettling. I even got a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Should I be concerned about this?

So, I've been having some issues with thick sputum lately, and recently I've noticed a few blood spots in it, which is a bit unsettling. I went ahead and did a sputum culture test, and it came back saying I have positive gram cocci in pairs. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit concerned about what this might indicate for my health.

it means you are infected with bacteria ,take antibiotics
