I'm really confused and a bit worried. My chest X-ray is normal, but I'm still coughing up dark red blood. Sometimes it's less, and the blood is mixed with a yellowish color. I haven't had any chest pain or heart issues before. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

Congratulations on this exciting possibility!

Home pregnancy tests (HPTs) like Prega News are reliable and convenient.

HPTs detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine.

If the result is:

  • Positive: Confirm with a healthcare provider.
  • Negative: Wait a few days and retest if still experiencing symptoms.

Lab tests (urine or blood) offer higher sensitivity, but HPTs are a great first step.

My husband recently had a lung x-ray as part of his annual checkup, and there are a few things that showed up. I'm a bit concerned because the report mentions broncho vascular markings and mild tenting on the hemidiaphragm. A while back, like 17 years ago, he had a pneumothorax and needed surgery to fix it with a thoracotomy. He's not having any breathing issues or other symptoms now, but should we be worried about these x-ray results? Do you think its necessary for us to see a pulmonologist? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

How can I check my lungs at home?

At home, you may check your lungs functioning with an instrument named "Peak Flow meter". It is a small hand held device, when you blow air into it, it calculates the lung capacity and expansion. Spirometer is another instrument which helps in similar way in lung assessment and additionally it also has therapeutic usage. You may check oxygenation level by "Pulse Oximeter" which gives indirect clue on lung damage but keep in mind there are other medical conditions which may affect pulse oximeter readings.

I'm really worried about the situation. Could you explain what the score significance is in this context? Also, how long might it take for the patient to recover if they've already started taking Remdesivir and their oxygen level is around 90-92?
