Question

I'm really concerned about my friend who had TB, and he finished his treatment back in February 2017. But just this February 2018, he got a chest x-ray, and it showed some issues. We have the x-ray report, but we're not sure what it means or what to do next. Could you help us understand the report and suggest any treatments?

Question

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been having this breathing issue for about two weeks now. It really feels like the air isn't reaching my lungs properly, so I'm finding myself having to take really deep breaths or breathe through my mouth more often. I went to see a doctor and they did a respiration test that turned out fine, but I'm still experiencing the problem. I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance or advice. Any insights would be really appreciated.

Question

My dad has been struggling with breathing and coughing a lot lately. We just got his test results, and it says there are prominent bronchovascular markings in his bilateral lung fields. I'm worried and not sure what this means. Could this explain why he's having these symptoms? What steps should we take next?

Question

I'm coughing a lot and my chest feels like it's aching when I do. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious, or maybe just a normal cold? What do you think could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing to feel better?
