I'm a bit worried about my latest lung X-ray results which mention an "apicolordotic view is suggested" for some pneumonia in both parahilar regions and a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction in the right lower lung, affecting both hemidiaphragms. Could you explain what all this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?

The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.

I'm having these weird episodes where I feel short of breath, even after just drinking or eating small amounts. It's been going on for about a week or so. Could this have anything to do with my weight? I'm around 85 kg now, but back in 2016 when I weighed 87 kg, I didn't experience this. Do you have any idea what might be happening?

Shortness of breath after eating or drinking, even in small amounts, can be related to factors like acid reflux, digestive issues, or even weight-related pressure on the diaphragm. Its important to check with a doctor to rule out underlying conditions, especially if its been persistent for a week or more. Your weight could play a role, but other causes need to be explored.
