I'm really struggling with a lot of symptoms like breathlessness, upper back pain, and severe chest pain. I've also been wheezing and have allergies to cold weather, dust, and changes in water. I'm feeling exhausted all the time. Walking and taking stairs are really tough, especially at night when I'm short of breath. My blood pressure seems to fluctuate a lot, and I've been having nightmares with unusual heart palpitations. I've only been using my inhaler during emergencies. Should I be using it regularly along with my GERD medication? I'm worried because these issues are affecting my life, and Im concerned about how it's impacting my 6-year-old daughter's mental health too. What would you recommend?

I'm concerned about my dad; he had fever and chills yesterday, and his oxygen level was at 94. He's 58 years old. Is a 94 oxygen level considered normal for him?

An oxygen level of 94% is slightly below normal but not immediately concerning. Since your dad has fever and chills, it's important to monitor his oxygen levels and consult a doctor if they drop further or if his symptoms worsen. Prompt evaluation is key, especially given his age.

Ive been dealing with a really bad cough for the last three months and it's starting to worry me. I just got a chest x-ray and Im trying to understand what it means. Can you explain what "BL prominent vascular markings noted" means in simple terms? I'm really curious if this is something I should be concerned about.

That could be bronchitis,take adequate rest and consume balanced diet,visit physician for appropriate management

The pus from my cervical TB infection was drained but the lump hasn't gone away yet. The lab confirmed it's tuberculosis and I'm on FORECOX (Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol) twice daily. Should I get any other tests done to check if the treatment is working or if there's more going on

It's important to monitor the progress of your cervical TB treatment and the lymph node after draining the pus. While the drug regimen you're on (FORECOX) is effective, additional tests may be needed to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment and rule out any other potential complications.
