I'm a 29-year-old woman and I've just been diagnosed with mild obstructive airway disease. The report mentions airway obstruction without significant post bronchodilator reversibility. How serious is this, and is it related to COPD?

I've been having pain on the right side of my chest and noticed some bleeding when I cough during morning brushing. There's also shortness of breath when walking. My CT scan showed something about osteochondroma near the mid ribs on the right side, but the report wasn't definitive it had a question mark next to osteochondroma. I'd prefer medication over surgery which type of doctor should I see for this?

See an orthopedic or thoracic surgeon; further imaging may clarify the diagnosis before considering any invasive steps.

I'm really feeling confused and a bit worried. So, here's the thing: I got tested since I had a dry cough. Both the Covid antigen and PCR tests came back negative. But when I went to the hospital for the dry cough, they did something called an HRCT and noted a GGO and something about CORAD5. I'm not sure what this means. Could you explain what it's all about and if it's serious? I'm really not sure what to think here.

it means you have inflammation of lung

I've been having trouble with shortness of breath and a dry cough, especially when I'm talking or laughing. I saw a doctor and was given some meds for three days: Zifi LBX, Maxtra Cold, Nelson, and Corex cough syrup. But I'm still dealing with the same issues. What should I do now? Any advice would be appreciated.

That could be due to chronic pharyngitis,visit general physician for evaluationa and appropriate management and also do salt water gargling and take luke warm water
