Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 64 and had Covid pneumonia back in December 2020. She was on oxygen back then and thankfully recovered. Her breathing seems okay now, but her oxygen levels are always between 94 to 93 when she's awake, and they drop to around 80 to 90 when she's sleeping. We did a chest x-ray two months later, and it showed something called prominent bronchovascular markings of both lung fields. Can you help me understand what that means? Is this something serious or normal? Does she need any treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

yes she needs treatment. prominent bronchovascular markings means due to infection

Question 2

I've been dealing with shortness of breath for a couple of months now, and I constantly feel pain on the right side of my chest. I had a spirometry test and a chest x-ray, but everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about hyperreactive airways. What does that mean, and is there anything else I should be worried about or look into?

Accepted Answer

allergens try to consult pulmonologist

Question 3

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm having trouble with my breathing lately, and it's really making me anxious. I did a PFT test recently, and I've attached the report. Could you help me understand what's going on?
