I've been recovering from a mild case of COVID. My CT scan showed a value of 725 about 17 days ago. Lately, for the past 10 days, I've noticed this tightness and stiffness in my chest, though there's no pain. Could you let me know what's going on? Should I be worried about this?

View allI've been dealing with bronchial asthma for a few days now, and I've realized that being around a lot of dust and my pet, who's shedding more than usual, might be making it worse. I've been using budamate 200 transcaps for a while and taking Montiar LC for my allergies. Just bought some piriton syrup and broncocin 200SR with an old prescription and started them last night, but I'm not noticing much improvement. I'm also anxious, which isn't helping my breathing problems. Could you suggest if I should switch inhalers or recommend an antibiotic that might help? Looking forward to your advice.
avoid dust and drink warm water , stay hydrated
