I'm really worried about my sister's chest X-ray results. It mentioned everything was normal except it said the right hilar shadows are heavy and show nodularity, linked to lymphadenopathy. I'm pretty anxious and just need to know if this is something that only happens to people with HIV or could it be something else?

The finding of "right hilar shadows heavy with nodularity, suggestive of lymphadenopathy," is not specific to HIV infection. It can occur in various conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, or even cancers. Further investigation, such as clinical assessment and additional tests, is needed to determine the exact cause.

View allI'm really concerned about my health and could use some advice. Over the past 10 months, I've been having issues with sticky sputum and left side chest pain. And just recently, I noticed blood in my sputum along with pain under my armpit. I've lost around 12 kgs too, which is worrying me even more. I've done quite a few tests, like a CT scan, a heart echo test, and even a sputum AFB and Mantoux test, but they all came back normal. I also checked with a CT thorax with contrast and had a couple of chest X-rays, all normal. Blood tests like sugar, urea, creatinine, CBC, and a seroconversion test were negative too. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm really anxious about it all. Can you help me figure out what might be happening or suggest what I should do next?

I've just had a spirometry test done, and the results are a bit confusing because there's no interpretation provided in the report. Plus, the reference ranges are different from what I've seen in my previous reports. I'm a bit worried and wondering if my results are normal. Could this mean I have asthma or some kind of obstruction?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been coughing for about 45 months now. We've seen both general and ENT doctors, and they've done a chest, nose, and throat X-ray, but everything looked normal. The doctors just keep prescribing antibiotics and allergy meds. They help for a bit while she's on them, but as soon as she stops, the coughing starts up again. What else can we do or look into to figure out what's going on?
she might be allergic to some agent, kindly search for it and avoid it as much as possible
