I've been really worried. Back in May, I had a severe case of COVID and ended up in the hospital with a CT score of 18. My last CT scan in July showed just a bit of that ground glass opacity left. It's been about six months since I was in the hospital, and my SPO2 is around 98-99 now. Do you think I should get an X-ray or another CT scan again? Or maybe some other tests just to be sure?
