Question

I'm really worried about an infiltrate found in the right upper lobe of my lung and I'm not quite sure what it means. The report mentioned something about small granulomata near the right second rib and the right hilum being slightly retracted upwards. Could this be something serious, and what should I do next?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my health after having a cold. My antigen test came back negative, and I've noticed my respiration rate is 14, and my SpO2 has dropped to 95 from 99 before the cold. Im wondering if the lower SpO2 could be related to the cold since I dont have fever or body aches. Could you give me some insight into this?

I'm really worried about my friend who has sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma; the doctor recommended an inhaler and the medicine ecosprin AV75.

Question

I'm really worried because even though my chest X-ray came back normal, I've been having breathing problems for several days now. My oxygen level was 96 just yesterday, and I'm not sure if that's okay. Plus, my lymphocytes are a little high. Can an X-ray miss something serious? What should I do?
