I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with shortness of breath lately and I can't figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what steps we should take next?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 61 and a BP patient who just tested positive for COVID. At first, she only had a headache and body pain with no fever, but then on the fourth day, her fever shot up to 102.6 degrees. It's been a week now, and her fever hasn't gone away, so we got a CT scan and some blood work done. The results showed a CT score of 1025, GGO, and consolidation. Her LDH is at 376, CRP at 23.94, and D-dimer is 506. Her oxygen saturation is around 96-97. I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Do you think steroids, blood thinners, and Remdesivir would be the right treatment? And should we consider admitting her to the hospital? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.

its better we start a course of steroid

I've been told I have a prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular marking in both of my lungs. I'm really curious about what that means for my health and what steps I should take next. Can you help explain these terms and suggest what should be done about this?

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.

So I've been able to exercise for quite a while without issues, and my peak flow readings are always solid, like around 550-600, and I'm 17 and about 174 cm tall. But lately, I've got this minor cold, and I've noticed something weird. When I breathe normally, I don't hear anything strange, but when I try to exhale really fast and hard, there's this wheezing sound. Is that normal? Could it just be anxiety causing this wheeze? Just trying to get some clarity on what's happening.

you can exercise for 1 hour. anxiety will not cause wheezing
