Question

I'm looking at my X-ray report, and I'm pretty concerned. It mentions that the right hilar vascular marking is prominent, and for the cardiac area, it's not clear if it's normal or not. Plus, the CP angles are hazy. I'm really wondering if these findings are normal or if there's something I should be worried about health-wise. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I've been smoking for the last couple of years but stopped after getting a bad cold recently. Since then, I've been coughing a lot, and I'm a bit worried because the mucus changed from yellow to white. Is that normal? I've also been gargling and doing some hot water breathing to help my throat. Should I be concerned about anything else?

Question

I'm trying to understand the results of my CT scan. It mentions a "small calcified nodular opacity" in the right middle lobe, which apparently measures 3.7 mm and might be a healed granulomatous lesion. There are also "few subcentimeter sized noncalcified lymph nodes," with the largest one being 9.1 mm in the AP window region. Could you explain what this means and what steps I should take next? I'm a bit worried about these findings.

Question

I've been keeping track of my blood oxygen levels ever since I had COVID about six weeks ago. Lately, I've noticed that after climbing stairs, my oxygen levels sometimes drop to around 93-94 for a bit, and it takes about a minute to go back up to 96-97. I'm a bit concerned because I never really checked these numbers before having COVID. Should I be worried about this change in my oxygen levels, or is this just a normal recovery process? When I'm walking or doing the 6-minute test, my oxygen levels are fine at around 96-97, and theyre good when I'm sitting too, around 97-98. Does this sound alright to you?
