What to do with different diagnoses from different doctors?

@lhabada Has a pulmonologist ordered a lung CT scan to determine if Covid caused permanent damage? It sounds like mucus is trapped in your lungs. Once they diagnose why, you can learn proper techniques to clear it out. This is important because trapped mucus is a safe harbor where germs can grow, causing repeated pneumonia or other lung infections.

Yes, I had a CT performed on 12/02/24 and another CT on 01/02/2025. Results did not indicate anything different from previous CT scans performed back thru the years which indicated I have something called bilateral calcification as a result of asbestos exposure which I've had since I was in my early 20's. I'm now 85.

Sue,
Yes, I had a CT Chest W/O IV Contrast W/CAD Diagnostic test on 1/2/2024. The doctor told me results of the test were inconclusive other than I do have Bilateral calcified & non calcified pleural plaque consistent with asbestos exposure. I suspect there is not enough information on long covid to help them to know what to look for on a CT test. Thanks for your suggestion.
