YES, & it will not go away without a wedge resection; which my heart won't tolerate. I take fungal antibiotics and it went from totally filling my lower left lobe to a "fungal ball" This happened right after I got COVID July 23. After 4 months of tests, x rays, antibiotics. I had a Bronchoscopy and it showed Aspergilous Fungal Pneumonia, caused by the spores in the air, dirt water, and being my immune system was very compromised. My health has taken a dive, this year, heart failure which we thought was caused by Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. But 6 weeks of Beta Blockers it still wasn't well. Echocardiogram showed the ejection fraction carries oxygenated blood out you left Ventricular to the whole body. Mine is 20 % down from 25 %, 3 months earlier; it should be 50-60%. So be careful I wear a mask almost always in grocery store, outdoors. We need to protect our lungs. Stay safe 🤗💜🙏🏼
