Any long Covid people here who developed lung nodules?
As part of the clinical long Covid study I’ve been doing for a year, I had a clean chest X-ray a year ago. Monday they found a 9mm nodule in my right posterior lung as well as “minor air trapping.” I’ve never smoked.
They referred me to their (University of Illinois Chicago) Lung Nodule department. The said they have seen cases lung nodules with long Covid. My symptoms have been fatigue and brain fog. This was very unexpected and worrying, since my dad died of lung cancer two years ago and cancer also got his sister and mom.
Have you seen any reputable studies or articles on this combination? I’m finding quite a few on my own and would like to see someone else’s “homework” if they’ve already been looking at it.

has anyone with lung nodules from long covid, had the nodules disappear ?
or had the nodules increase in size , requiring surgery or biopsy?
My Doctor said that there is a chance they will go away
thank you
I had 2 nodules increase in size, but my Pulmonologist cousin said it could be inflammation as opposed to permanent growth. I’m hoping that is the case when I have my next CT.
I have the same three long Covid symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, and lung nodules. My lung disease was termed, interstitial lung disease, and that’s the pulmonologist I see now. I haven’t done any research on the three being related. But I look forward to seeing what you or others have found. Thanks!
Rudizzy2, thank you, lets keep this post going, lung nodules seem to be common with long covid
