I'm really worried about my mom. She's 59 and has been dealing with this intense pain in her inner ribs. The doctor we saw recommended an X-ray, and the results showed something like inhomogeneous opacity in both upper zones and something called febrocity. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something serious?

I recently got the results from my chest x-ray, and there's a note about increased right basal markings and something called pneumonitis, non-specific. Everything else seems clear. Can you help me understand what this means? Is there a chance I'm starting to develop pneumonitis?

it means inflammation in lungs

I'm really concerned about this thing that's been happening to me at night. When I'm just about to fall asleep or sometimes even in the middle of the night, I'll wake up gasping for air. It's really frightening. I'm taking Olzole right now for my heartburn and gas, and I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing might be sleep apnea or is it just because of my GERD acting up. It used to happen before but not as often as it does now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Probable diagnosis is Gerd, patient is advised pan d ,orally.once daily for 14 days before food..Avoid spicy foods.

I'm really worried about my brother who's been covid positive for a week now. He had a fever for the first few days, but now that's gone and he's got this dry cough. We got some tests done and I've got the chest X-ray results, but the doctor can only see us next Sunday and today is Thursday. The report mentions something about inhomogeneous opacities at both mid and lower zones, and it also says there's a bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion. Should we be waiting till Sunday to see our doctor or do you think it's better to check with another doctor sooner? Id really appreciate your advice on what this might mean and how to proceed.

Tab Azithromycin 500mg orally,once daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.Also tab paracetamol 500mg sos for fever,tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days, syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice daily for 5 days and steam inhalation is advised to the patient.
