: There are several possible causes of these findings. If you are short of breath or cough , a pulmonary function test may be helpful. Watch for these signs. Have you had COVID 19 screening? or past infection? Stay well hydrated, monitor BP, exercise tolerance and blood sugar. A complete physical exam is recommended.
