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?

I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my left chest, and it's making it a bit difficult for me to breathe. I already had an X-ray, but it came back clear, and a sputum test didn't show anything either. A chest specialist mentioned it could be muscular, but I'm worried because it's affecting my breathing and making me feel very tired. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

That could be muscle catch no need to worry take adequate rest and follow your doctor advice,you will be fine
