I'm really worried because the patient just got over COVID about five days ago. I'm trying to find out if they also recovered from COVID pneumonia or if there's still something lingering. Can you help explain how we can know for sure if they're in the clear?

Question

I'm really concerned because I took a hard fall in the bathroom and slammed my chest on a tap. It's been about 34 days now and the chest pain hasn't gone away. I did a chest X-ray, and I'm worried if there's anything wrong with it. Could there be a chance of pneumothorax? Also, I have to fly tomorrow and I'm not sure if it's safe to fly with this kind of pain. What do you think?

Question

What is the first sign of hypoxia?

Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent HRCT thorax report. It mentioned that there are a few subcentimetric lymph nodes in the pre-tracheal and pre-carinal regions, but everything else seems normal. I've been having breathing issues, though my PFT report came back completely normal. It turns out the breathing problem is caused by an arytenoid covering half of my vocal cord. I just need to know, are these subcentimetric lymph nodes something to worry about, or are they considered normal?
