I'm really worried about my recent x-ray report. It says there's a mild increase in peri hilar bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not sure how serious this might be. Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?

I'm getting ready for a medical exam for my visa and I'm really worried because I'm a smoker. I usually go through about two to three packs a day, but after hearing about the x-ray exam, I got pretty anxious and decided I need to quit. The cravings have been intense, so I'm down to a maximum of five a day for now. Im wondering, do these changes or any lung patches I have increase the chances of my visa being rejected? I could use some advice.
It's great that you're trying to reduce your smoking, but lung patches can sometimes raise concerns during medical exams. However, cutting down to 5 cigarettes a day is a positive step. It's important to be honest during the examination and follow your healthcare provider's advice. Good luck with your visa process, and continue working towards quitting!

My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
