The small airway obstruction may be an incidental finding if you don't have any symptoms.
However you may require a treatment for duodenitis as it is RUT positive
Next Steps
consult me for treatment for duodenitis
consult a pulmonologist for small airway obstruction

Small airway obstruction features may be idiopathic and not necessarily to be associated with Covid infection. And hernia is not a cause of airway obstruction.
You are confusing different entities altogether.
Next Steps
Consult a Pulmonologist for better opinion and management regarding your airway obstruction problem.
