I'm really worried about Manoj Asthana. He's dealing with a serious lung issue and was COVID-positive about ten days ago, but thankfully, his test is negative now. However, he's still needing oxygen support, and his HRCT score is alarmingly high at 24 out of 25. I've attached his chest X-ray and HRCT report. Could you let us know what steps we should take next? We're really anxious about his condition.

View allI'm really worried about my dad who was admitted to the hospital. The doctors put him on a ventilator even though his saturation was 97-100 on ventilator and around 92-95 on bipap at 60 ni mode. His carbon levels were at 56 and oxygen at 78 in his blood. Can you help me understand why they used the ventilator?
because with only ventilator the saturation is normal

I've been noticing that I only take deep breaths when I think about it, but when I'm busy or asleep, I don't feel the need to. I saw my family doctor, and he told me to do exercise, but I'm constantly thinking about my breathing now and it's making me a bit worried. I've had an ECG and x-ray, and everything's clear. Could you give me some advice?
it is because of your anxiety, so reduce your stress

So, I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago, and the results came back showing something about bilateral prominent hila and prominent bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this means. Is it something serious that I need to worry about? Should I be looking into treatment for it? Lately, I've been experiencing some shortness of breath and breathing issues too. Would love to get some insight on this.
The X-ray findings suggest increased prominence of the lung structures, which could be due to various conditions like inflammation, infection, or early signs of lung diseases. Since you're experiencing shortness of breath, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. They may recommend additional tests to determine the cause and guide you on the necessary steps for management.
