I'm really worried about pulmonary embolism because I read that 80% of cases are only diagnosed during an autopsy. It's kind of freaking me out to think about how often this might go undetected. What are the scenarios where dead space ventilation is observed, and are there any conditions where it's not usually present? I'm trying to understand more about how this works and what signs I should look out for.

View allMy mom is 66, 45 inches tall and weighs 52 kg. She has COPD and severe sleep apnea but has been using CPAP for 2 months now. Also has thyroid issues, BP and anxiety. Found multiple 8mm gallstones with very mild occasional pain but no vomiting, fever and good appetite. Is she okay to go ahead with surgery next month or should we wait?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been dealing with a cough for 1214 days, and it's probably due to my dust allergy. I visited a doctor last week, and he prescribed Macpod 200, Montek LC, and Rapitus plus syrup. But over the last couple of days, I've developed a fever and I'm feeling really weak. What should I do? Is this something to be worried about?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable chest tightness along with some pain in both the lower and upper parts of my right chest. I've also been dealing with sneezing and watery eyes that come with a cough. When I do cough, there's this light yellow mucus with a few greenish pieces. The pain's gotten a bit worse over the past two days, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping on my right side. What could this be?
take tablet zerodol twice a day and syrup ascoril
