Question

I'm really curious about the results of my chest X-ray. The doctor mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what that actually means? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal?

Question

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past 45 days. It feels like the air isnt fully filling my chest, and I have to take deep breaths for 15 to 30 seconds for things to feel normal. I don't have a cold, cough, or fever, but today my throat is super dry and it feels like theres pressure inside. What could be going on? I'm really worried.

Question

I'm experiencing persistent shortness of breath and this odd sensation like there's something stuck in my throat which makes me burp. I took a Covid test on June 17th, and it came back negative, so I'm wondering if it's possible for Covid not to show up on those tests? My Pulmonologist recommended an HRCT of my chest and an ECHO, both done by June 30th, and the results came back normal. I'm curious if an HRCT can sometimes miss Covid. Also, if someone has a heart blockage, would that show up as any kind of abnormality on an ECHO?

Question

I'm having this really bothersome dry cough, and it seems to get worse when I'm under a ceiling fan or in an air-conditioned room. I don't notice it as much when the room temperature is normal though. Also, the mucus I cough up is white. Could it be something to do with excess heat in my body? I'm worried and would love any suggestions on what kind of medicines might help with this.
