I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

I'm really worried because my parents and I have been dealing with COVID for two weeks now, and we're still coughing a lot. We've been taking ascoril ls, doxt t, and montaire LC, but it doesn't seem to help much. I've heard about getting an HR Chest CT Scan, and I'm wondering if I can get a doctor to prescribe it. Is it something we should consider?

you should consult a pulmonologist or physician and get a prescription for hrct
