I'm feeling really under the weather with this cold I've had for the past five days. I went ahead and got a chest X-ray, and the results mentioned something about mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in the bilateral lower zone. Does this sound serious to you, and is there a chance it could be related to tuberculosis? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate some insight on this.

The mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in your chest X-ray typically indicate mild inflammation or irritation in the lungs, often seen with respiratory infections like the common cold. It is not a specific sign of tuberculosis. However, its best to follow up with your doctor for a complete evaluation and to rule out any other concerns.

View allI'm really struggling with chest pressure and tightness and it's been hard to breathe. I've stopped vaping for 3 days now, but the symptoms haven't improved. I don't have a fever, cold, or cough, but I'm feeling really anxious, almost like I have corona. I'm wondering if this could be due to poor eating habits or constipation? What can I do to feel better?
Yes, chest pressure and tightness along with severe shortness of breath can be related to poor eating habits and constipation. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter laxatives such as Dulcolax or Miralax to relieve constipation. It is also important to drink plenty of water, eat a high-fiber diet, and engage in regular physical activity to improve digestion. You can try using an inhaler such as Ventolin to help open up your airways. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Tums or Maalox to relieve any acid reflux that may be contributing to your symptoms. It is also important to avoid vaping and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you develop any new symptoms.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with me. I had mild to moderate pneumonia from COVID last month, and I tested negative after 23 days. My CT value at that time was 7 by 25. Right now, I'm just taking Perfitab. But whenever I skip the meds, I get this really annoying burning or itching feeling in the middle of my chest, and it only seems to happen when I'm resting. I don't have a cough or any breathlessness, so I'm confused. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be lung fibrosis or something else?
complete the score and do chest x ray
