Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent HRCT thorax report. It mentioned that there are a few subcentimetric lymph nodes in the pre-tracheal and pre-carinal regions, but everything else seems normal. I've been having breathing issues, though my PFT report came back completely normal. It turns out the breathing problem is caused by an arytenoid covering half of my vocal cord. I just need to know, are these subcentimetric lymph nodes something to worry about, or are they considered normal?

Question

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's 69 and her oxygen levels are between 92 and 94. She had some mild chest congestion before, and the doctor gave her Azee 500 to take for five days. Is her low oxygen something we should be worried about?

Question

I'm really concerned because I was a smoker for about 6 years, usually having around 5 cigarettes a day, but I quit almost a year ago because of this upper back pain that's been bothering me. The weird thing is, even after a year, the pain is still there. I've done checkups and seen a number of doctors, but they just tell me it's stress-related and suggest exercise, which hasn't helped at all. Now, for the past 15 days, I've been experiencing breathing issues, like when I take the stairs or even when I'm just sitting or sleeping. The breathing problems come along with the upper back pain. I'm really worried about these symptoms and would love some advice on how to get relief. What could be going on?
