Could my recent symptoms of a heavy head and mild headache be a sign of a black fungus infection (mucormycosis), considering I finished taking the steroid Medrol 20 days ago after recovering from a Covid lung infection, and my blood tests and brain CT scan are normal?

Since your brain CT scan and blood tests are entirely normal, a black fungus infection (mucormycosis) is highly unlikely. Mucormycosis is a rare condition that typically causes severe, rapidly worsening symptoms like facial swelling, nasal numbness, or vision changes, which would generally appear on imaging. Having finished your steroid, Medrol (methylprednisolone), 20 days ago further reduces this risk. Your mild headache and heavy head are much more likely due to stress, sinus congestion, or post-viral recovery. Please continue to monitor your symptoms.
