I recently got my lab results and I'm pretty concerned because my TLC is really high at 13700, ESR is 80, and my neutrophils are also high at 80. Plus, my lymphocytes are low. The sputum gram stain shows positive cocci, but the culture report just says normal flora. I haven't had a fever, but I'm experiencing pain when I inhale, and my phlegm sometimes has a foul smell or even looks rusty brown. I've also been dealing with tonsillitis. Do you think there's a chance I might have tuberculosis, or could this just be some kind of other infection? I'd really appreciate any insights.

View allI'm really worried about my father. He tested positive for Covid yesterday, and his CT value is 16. He's had a fever for about eight days now with a temperature between 100 to 101. He's also diabetic and although he's been on diabetes medication for years, we're stressed because the fever hasn't eased up yet. He completed both doses of the Covid vaccine a few months back. His current oxygen levels are around 98-99, and his heart rate is between 71-80. He's got a cough and cold too. We started him on Covid meds and are keeping him in home quarantine, but I'm unsure if we should get a Lungs CT Scan done given his diabetes and the persisting fever. What do you suggest?
Yes,patient is advised a CT scan for further management.

I've been having trouble breathing for more than two months now, especially when I laugh or talk, and it feels like I'm out of breath easily. I went through an X-ray and a cardiac check, and both seem to be normal, but I'm still not sure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a form of anxiety or stress-related breathing difficulty, especially since both your X-ray and cardiac check are normal. It could also be related to muscle tension in the chest or diaphragm. I recommend consulting a respiratory specialist or considering breathing exercises to help manage this.

I've been feeling really out of breath no matter what I do, whether I'm just getting up, sitting down, moving around, or doing any kind of work. It's really concerning me. What could be causing this breathlessness, and should I be worried?
You may be experiencing symptoms of asthma. I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help relieve your breathlessness. The usual dosage for Ventolin inhaler is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to use it as directed by your healthcare provider.
