Question

I'm dealing with this constant breathlessness and I'm not sure if it's from a cold or maybe GERD. I'm having a hard time expanding my chest sometimes, and when I wake up, one of my nostrils is often blocked. Ive had an echo, ECG, TMT, and a chest X-ray done, and all are normal. Every now and then, I take theophylline, which seems to relax things, but I'm still unsure what's actually causing these issues. Could you shed some light on what might be going on?

Question

I'm just a little concerned after my recent visit to the panel physician. They did an X-ray and found a spot, then mentioned it might be linked to Tuberculosis. So, now I'm scheduled for a sputum test over the next three mornings. But here's the thingI've got none of the typical TB symptoms like coughing, breathing issues, or losing weight. I'm really curiouscan an X-ray actually show definite signs of TB, or is there a chance it's something else?

Question

Hey, my father-in-law just found out he tested positive for COVID and his oxygen saturation levels are hovering around 92, 93, sometimes 94. Do you think we need to get him to the hospital right away, or is it okay to wait? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on this.
