I'm a bit concerned about my recent chest X-ray results. They mentioned there were suspicious infiltrates in the upper lobe, and I had to get an apicolordotic X-ray. Thankfully, the second test came back with no abnormalities. What does this mean for my health? I just want to understand if there's anything I should be worried about.

It means that while the chest X-ray initially showed some suspicious signs in the upper lung lobe, the follow-up apicolordotic X-ray did not reveal any abnormalities. This suggests that there are no significant issues in that area, which is reassuring. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further assessment if needed.

Can you tell me if it's okay to use normal saline instead of distilled water in an oxygen concentrator? Or maybe there's something else I could use as a substitute for distilled water? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

I've been having trouble breathing and my chest feels tight. Do I need to get tested for chronic bronchitis, and is it something that can be cured?
