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?

I'm having some trouble with my breathingit feels heavy and like I have to really push to take a breath when I'm sitting down. But when I'm lying down, walking, or jogging, it doesn't bother me at all. I had a chest X-ray and a PFT a couple of months ago, and everything was normal. Do you think this could be related to my sitting posture, or is there something else going on? Would love some advice.

So, I just got the results from a chest x-ray and it says I have "prominent bronchovascular markings." Everything else seems normal, but should I be concerned about this? What does it even mean?

increased bronchovascular markings may be a common finding in chest x ray because of pollution and minor cold like infections...usually it is nothing to worry about but definitely better to get yourself examined...its always better the examination findings with the investigation findings as together only they give a better impression
