I've been having some trouble breathing at certain times during the day, but it's weird because when I'm working out at the gym, I don't have any issues. What could this be? Is it something I should be worried about?

I just coughed up some super thick bloody mucus, and I'm breathing in hard through my sinuses. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that can happen occasionally?

I've been recovering from COVID for about 7 months now, and my CT score initially was 12 right after, but it dropped to 7 a few months later. I recently checked my SpO2 while lying down with my head on a pillow, and it was around 95-96, but when I sat in a chair, it was 98. Plus, I'm able to walk about 3-4 km daily without any issues. Is there anything serious I should be concerned about here?
no its normal ,no need to worry
