Question

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?

Question

My dad, who's 60, has been prescribed Azee 500 three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for his COPD, along with some other inhalers. I think Azee 500 is an antibiotic, but I'm worried if it's alright to take an antibiotic for as long as 3 months. Could you shed some light on this?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results mentioned "minimal fibrosis noted in the upper lobes." What exactly does that mean? Should I be concerned? I'm just trying to understand it better.

Question

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, and even though my ECG, blood pressure, and lung tests all came back normal, I'm still worried. Could there be an issue that's not showing up in these reports? What could be causing this problem?
