Question

Is it normal to sometimes have shortness of breath with a common cold? I've had a cold for about 10 days now, and I'm a bit worried because I don't feel like I'm breathing properly. Should I be concerned about this?

Question

What does it mean if right pleural thickening shows up in medical tests, like during GCC medicals? I had an x-ray done on my own, and the radiologist didn't see an issue, but another one mentioned I could go for more scans although they didn't expect anything serious to turn up. What could be causing this, and is it something that can be fully treated?

Question

I'm a 24-year-old male and a few months ago I had some serious chest pain. I got an X-ray done back then and it showed something like blunting of the anterior CP angle on the lateral view. The pain went away after taking antibiotics. Fast forward to now, Ive been dealing with diarrhea for about a month and when I visited the doctor, he suggested a range of tests something like re blood, RBS, LFT, Montoux test, colonoscopy, and a chest X-ray. Turns out, the chest X-ray looks the same as it did five months ago. Could you help me understand what's going on? Should I be worried that the X-ray hasnt changed?

Question

I'm really curious about eosinophilic bronchitis. Can you explain what exactly it is and what symptoms I should be looking out for? Is this something I should be worried about health-wise, like, could it cause any serious problems if left untreated?
