Oxygen level drops after climbing stairs
I had tested covid positive on May 2, 2021. It was a mild infection and during that time my oxygen level was in normal limits. But now after two months, if I don't do any activity it is in 97/96. But when I climb stairs or just go for a walk it drops to 92/93. Why does that happen ?

Mass lesion biopsy or another CT scan?
My mother diagnosed with a mass lesion on posterior segment left upper lobe with diameter of 2.8 cm. Few small nodular densities at both upper lobes. She has only dry cough once in a while talking continuously or at night once in while from few months. No other symptoms. Should we go with biopsy or wait for another CT scan after 3 months? Because Biopsy sometime carry complications especially with lungs like pneumothorax and hemothorax. She is doing all daily activities smoothly. We are in confused tate. Pls suggest.
