Question

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother who has been in the ICU for two weeks now on ventilation because of COVID. His HRCT score is really high at 25 and the doctors have mentioned he might need a lung transplant and ECMO support which started on June 1st. Thankfully, he's responding okay to it, but his pulse is normal while his Spo2 is stuck at 75. They're saying he has to wait 60 days for the transplant. Do you think he'll be okay until then? Its scary because 100% of his lungs are infected. We had him airlifted to Apollo Hyderabad from Patna and he's still testing positive for COVID. Hes just 34 and never had any health issues before this. His WBC is at 20000, CRP is at 186, and D-dimer is at 1380. What do you think are his chances?

Question

Hey, I'm wondering about using a nebulizer for someone with an oxygen level of 92-93% without a mask. The doctor mentioned Duolin and Budecort. Should these be mixed together when using the nebulizer or should they be administered separately?

Question

I've been out of the hospital for about a month after dealing with covid pneumonia. Thankfully, my oxygen levels are looking good, and I don't have any obvious problems. But I'm wondering, how can I be sure my lungs are fully back to normal and that there's no risk of developing fibrosis?
