Question

I'm really concerned about my friend who's getting treated for TB. I'm trying to figure out the right diet for him. Can you advise on which fruits and vegetables would be best for someone in his condition? Also, is it safe for him to eat food with spices? I would really appreciate your guidance on this.

Question

I'm really concerned about some health issues I'm experiencing. My recent CT scan indicated pulmonary artery hypertension at 30 MM, and they recommended a 2D Echo, which thankfully came back normal. But I still have some symptoms like shortness of breath, particularly while eating, and I feel uneasy. Sleep hasn't been an issue, as I can sleep well without any breathing support. However, I find myself experiencing syncope and unsteadiness frequently, especially when standing or walking. There's also this constant fatigue despite eating well and staying at home. My blood reports show eosinophilia at 12.9 and 9.2, a CRP level of 5.5, an ESR of 28, and fatty liver. Im trying to stay active with workouts, but I just feel so low on energy. It's strange and unlike anything Ive felt before. On top of that, I've had mucus from my throat for about 8 years due to sinus, but no cough or runny nose. I've been managing it with natural remedies instead of medication. Could my birth control pills for PCOS be contributing to all of this? Should I be looking into more tests, or might natural remedies be a good option for now? I've already sought advice from four online consultations, but Im still worried.

Question

I'm feeling chest pain and noticing some fiber-like stuff coming from my mouth when I take steam after recovering from COVID. I'm worried it might be lung fibrosis. Can you tell me what might be going on and if there's any medication I should consider?

Question

I'm really worried about my aunt. She's dealing with COVID and her lungs are infected. Right now, she's on a ventilator in a private hospital. She doesn't have any other health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure; she just has thyroid problems. I have her HRCT scan report here too. The doctors mentioned she'll be on the ventilator for about 5 days. Can you tell me if she's going to be okay? How serious is her condition? Is this something she can recover from?
