I'm really worried about my lungs. I came across this description saying something like lungs being damaged and compared to a "chocolate out of freeze." Could you explain what that means? Also, how serious is it if the infection in the lungs is really high? I'm just trying to understand how bad the damage could be.

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, fever, and I just don't feel like eating much these days. I had an x-ray done and it says my bronchovascular markings are prominent. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?

take tablet pantop and start steam inhalation

I'm really worried about my recent chest x-ray results. It showed increased bronchovascular markings in the right basal region, and I'm not sure what that means. The report also mentioned the cardiac shadow appears normal but the hilar shadows are prominent, and the right cardiophrenic angle is hazy. The bony cage is normal and the trachea is central, but what's concerning me is the right basal bronchovascular prominence. Could you explain what all this might mean for my health? I'm not really familiar with these terms and would appreciate some clarity.
