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.

I got diagnosed with Pneumonia after catching the Covid19 virus last April 14, 2021. I've been on medication for weeks and started feeling better. But now, whenever I take a deep breath, I notice some discomfort and a bit of pain in the right side of my chest, near the lower rib cage. I work night shifts and this is starting to worry me because it's impacting my job. Could this still be related to what I went through with Pneumonia, or something else?

I'm really worried about my mom... She was diagnosed with COVID, and we're now on the 14th day. Luckily, she hasn't had a fever for the last 6 days. Her CT scan on the 5th day showed a 625 score, and she started taking 40 mg of Predmet, which seemed to help with the fever. But now, I'm concerned about her D-dimer levels; they were at 1300 and after 4 injections of 40 mg Enoxaparin, it's down to 1100. I'm just really anxious to know how long it'll take for her D-dimer levels to drop below 500. Is there a typical timeframe for this to happen?

Atleast 3-5 days is advised to the patient.

I recently tested positive for COVID-19 on April 16th and after treatment, I got a negative result on May 8th. However, I'm now experiencing some breathing issues. My average O2 saturation levels are around 97-98. Should I be considering any kind of scan or is there something specific I should be doing?

No need to worry, when you are tested negative you are free from disease, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
