Is tiredness after morning walk due to post-COVID weakness?
Hello doctor,
About a year ago, I had COVID 19 infection and was in the hospital for 30 days, out of which 15 days I was in the intensive care unit (ICU). For three months after hospitalization, I was on an oxygen concentrator. I have been prescribed tablet Nintena for three months post-hospitalization. My oxygen saturation remains at 90 to 94, which reduces to 88 to 90 after physical activity. I also have dizziness in the morning and tiredness after morning walks. What can be the reason for it? Kindly suggest.

Hello doctor,
I am A 32-year-old female without any medical complications. I have survived a COVID-19 infection recently. I had only mild symptoms and recovered at home. My isolation period is over after 17 days since the infection became positive. And all the blood test reports are normal. I want to know when I will get back to my normal life? When can I start gym and cardio? And when can I start smoking and drinking again. I hardly smoke two to three cigarettes a week and occasionally drink between two or three months. Please do not say to quit everything. I need an optimistic answer.

What should I do if I spot blood in my phlegm?
Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old male with a height of 5.97 ft and weight 165.34 lb. I had a cold, cough, and fever a few days back. My doctor prescribed me antibiotics and Paracetamol for the same. I am almost recovered now, but the cough and phlegm are still present. The phlegm is often normal, but occasionally, when the phlegm is thick, I can clearly see blood in the yellow phlegm. Kindly give me advice on the same. Thank you.
