COVID 19: Many people have experienced pulmonary problems post- COVID 19 infection. It would be important to connect back up with the doctor who ordered those tests to learn what they mean in the context of your past and current symptoms. If you haven't scheduled a "post - COVID 19" medical evaluation - would encourage you to do so.
