I'm a bit worried about some health stuff and hoping you can give me a bit of clarity. I saw a pulmonologist, and they did an X-ray. The ECG was normal, but it showed pulmonary ventricular contractions. My oximeter reading was 99 for oxygen and 123 for heart rate. The doctor said I dont have any breathing problems, but I am feeling short of breath and a tight chest. Could I have COPD? What kind of oximeter reading should a COPD patient have, or when should I be concerned about my breathing? I dont have any allergies, cough, or cold. Would really appreciate some guidance here.

View allCan I take Dolo 650 while I'm on TB treatment if I have a fever? Also, when can I expect this fever to go away? I've been on medication for 29 days now.
It's generally safe to take Dolo 650 for fever during tuberculosis treatment, but it's important to follow your doctor's advice for specific medications and dosage. The duration of fever can vary depending on the severity of the infection and how your body responds to treatment. If the fever persists, it's a good idea to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my uncle. He got over covid about 2 months ago, but he still isn't doing well. He was in the hospital and got steroids and medications like remedesivir and faviflu, and they said he had viral pneumonia. They let him go after 20 days, but now he's got this persistent fever around 99-100, and his oxygen levels are worrying me since theyre down to about 89. I checked his CRP, and it's sitting at 8. Even though his reports look clean, the CT scan shows some GGO formation. Whats freaking me out is when he moves, his oxygen can drop to as low as 73. Could you please give me some advice on what to do next?

So, I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago, and the results came back showing something about bilateral prominent hila and prominent bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this means. Is it something serious that I need to worry about? Should I be looking into treatment for it? Lately, I've been experiencing some shortness of breath and breathing issues too. Would love to get some insight on this.
The X-ray findings suggest increased prominence of the lung structures, which could be due to various conditions like inflammation, infection, or early signs of lung diseases. Since you're experiencing shortness of breath, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. They may recommend additional tests to determine the cause and guide you on the necessary steps for management.
