I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?

I'm a bit worried about something I noticed on my chest x-ray. It showed fibrolinear densities in the lungs, and I'm trying to understand what this means. Just a little backgroundI had TB about 10 years ago and went through the 6-month treatment for it. Now, I'm about to have a pre-employment physical exam, and I didn't mention my TB history during the interview. Should I be concerned about this affecting my exam results or my job prospects?
Fibrolinear densities on your chest X-ray likely represent old scar tissue from your previous TB infection and treatment 10 years ago. These findings are generally not active disease but could raise questions during a pre-employment exam if not explained. Its best to clarify your history if asked, as treated TB is typically not a barrier to employment.

I'm experiencing some pain near my ribs when I breathe in and I also feel short of breath after climbing stairs. I went to a cardiologist and all the tests came back normal, so they recommended I see an orthopaedist. Should I go to a pulmonologist instead to get this checked out?
