Pulmonary fibrosis symptoms

2021-07-17 13:36:42
Hi there, I had covid 3 months back with CT value of 3. During covid I had little breathlessness and moderate cough. Now almost after 3 months, I am having breathlessness with little chest congestion and little pain on left side of chest when doing little brisk walking. Normally the SPO2 varies between 95-98. On 6 min walk, it remains at 96-98. I am worried if I have developed Pulmonary fibrosis but is it possible to have this after so many days? I do have anxiety issue as well, could this be a reason?
