I'm experiencing something a little odd with my breathing. Most of the time, I can breathe normally, but whenever I try to take a really deep breath, it feels a bit difficult to fully inhale. It's not constant, only happens sometimes, but it's got me a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

I'm really worried about my dad. His oxygen saturation has been stuck at 88 for the last five days, even though he's on 5L oxygen at the hospital. The CT scan showed these ground glass opacities in his lungs, and he's taking pirfenidone, along with formonide and combimiat. What should we expect next? Is there anything else we can do to help improve his condition?

Yes, Continue same treatment.

I'm looking at my X-ray report, and I'm pretty concerned. It mentions that the right hilar vascular marking is prominent, and for the cardiac area, it's not clear if it's normal or not. Plus, the CP angles are hazy. I'm really wondering if these findings are normal or if there's something I should be worried about health-wise. Could you help me understand what's going on?
