Chest pain
Today is 19 th day after covid infection, now I am recovered from covid .At present I am suffering from cough, sometimes I am feeling slight chest pain . It may be due to weakness. Oxygen Saturation is coming 96-98.
Doctor has prescribed for d-dimer test, crp test of blood, and CT scan of chest plain and contrast if needed. Please suggest should I go for CT scan . Because now body is very weak, there are harmful rays during CT scan, there may be chances of infection during CT scan.
Please suggest whether CT scan of chest to be done or not.

Chances of acquiring infection from CT scan is very minimal.
