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?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with a dry cough for about five days now and she's on Doxofylline tablets and Forcef 500. The thing is, she just can't seem to eat anything because it makes her feel nauseous, and she's getting so weak. Ive heard paneer might be okay to give her, but Im not sure what foods are best right now. Could you help me figure out what she should be eating?

give her foods with less spices. give curd and increase the quantity of water consumption

So, I recently did a TB Mantoux test and my lymphocytes count is 46. The result mentioned something like Microscopic Induration at 3235 and there's erythema present. My doctor said something about seeing a pulmonology specialist for future options. Given all this, do you think this will affect my chances of getting a visa? It's really stressing me out.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been having trouble with my breathing when I walk. It feels like I'm not taking full breaths, and there's this heaviness in my chest. I've had an X-ray, CT scan of my chest, an ECG, and a 2D echo of my heart, and everything came back normal. I'm really confused about what could be causing this. Any ideas?
