I hope someone can help / reassure me.
My colleague had covid the week before Xmas and while I didn’t feel well I did not test positive. The week after Xmas I felt very breathless and my oxygen sats were 93 so I went to doctors and he said I had a chest infection and gave antibiotics. 10 days later still not better do had a stronger course of antibiotics. I was still breathless and had a chest X-ray that indicated infection. I then had a blood test that suggested a Pulmonary embolism. I had a CT but no PE but showed shadow on lung . Doctors bit confused as blood tests don’t indicate infection. I have to have another X-ray mid March. I still feel breathless at times - when it’s cold or I go for a brisk walk. I also have a feeling of indigestion a lot of the time . My sats are now mostly between 95 and 97. Has anyone else had this go on for so long ? Worried about lung cancer !
