I'm really concerned about my uncle who is 60 years old. He's been having mild fever on and off and he's also lost some weight recently. I know he has a history of smoking, which worries me more. We got an AFB test, and it came back negative for TB, but his chest CT scan showed some serious stuff. There are a few nodular areas of consolidation in his lungs that have irregular margins and some of them show central necrosis. They also mentioned something about fibrotic pleuroparenchymal bands. The report suggests it might be an infectious process like TB, but they also said we cant rule out cancer without a biopsy. There are also some small nodular lesions in his right upper lobe and left upper lobe, and the CT scan mentioned mediastinal lymphadenopathy, which I've read can be really serious. Could you help me understand what all this means and what steps we should take next?

yes , consult pulmonologist

I'm really worried because I've been having Covid symptoms, like chest pain and breathing issues, but my RT-PCR tests always come back negative. It's been 1.5 months since this all started, and my recent chest X-ray showed congested bilateral hila. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it possible I still have a Covid infection, or could it be something else?

it just means you have slight inflammation. you don't have covid infection now

I'm experiencing some sleep issues, and I'm really concerned. I've noticed that I'm not getting enough sleep and keep having breathing difficulties and sometimes even stop breathing entirely while I'm asleep. I'm extremely sleepy throughout the day and often deal with headaches and vertigo. I've already seen a doctor and was recommended to use a CPAP machine, but honestly, the thought of using it scares me a bit. I'm wondering if there are any alternative treatments for sleep apnea that don't involve using a CPAP machine. Any advice would be really appreciated.

CPAP therapy is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea syndrome.If the patient is intolerant to cpap ,BIPAP,ASV,EPAP or a oral device is advised to the patient.
