I'm a bit worried about a recent HRCT report I got back. It mentions a large smooth-walled air-filled lesion that's replaced my right upper lobe, likely a bullae, with some compressive atelectatic changes in the adjacent lung. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned about this?

Understanding the HRCT Findings: a. A large smooth-walled air-filled lesion in the lung is likely a bullae, which is a type of emphysematous change. b. Compressive atelectatic changes indicate partial lung collapse due to pressure from the bullae.
-
Concerns and Recommendations: a. Bullae can lead to reduced lung function and risk of rupture, causing pneumothorax. b. Consult a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management options, which may include monitoring or surgical intervention if symptomatic.

View allI'm curious about something. I've been randomly checking my SpO2 levels in the morning and at night. In the morning, they're usually between 97 to 99, but at night they go from 94 to 98. I'm not running a fever or anything. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

I've been having trouble breathing like I did when I had asthma as a kid. This started last Monday and seems to be happening every night since I began playing football. Could these breathing issues be related to my new activity, and how can I get back to normal?

I've recently been diagnosed with pneumonitis in my lungs by my family doctor, and now they've suggested seeing a specialist. I'm a bit worried and curious about what that might entail. Could you help me understand more about what pneumonitis is and why I might need further treatment from a specialist? Is this condition really serious, and what usually happens during these specialist consultations? I'm just trying to make sense of it all and figure out what I should expect.
