I'm really worried because after getting my x-ray and CT report at the civil hospital, the doctor mentioned something about tuberculosis. Could you explain what this means for me and what I should do next?

I've been noticing that my SPO2 level is above 95, which I thought was supposed to be okay, but I'm still experiencing some breathlessness today. Should I be worried about this or is it normal to feel this way sometimes?

Hey, my father-in-law just found out he tested positive for COVID and his oxygen saturation levels are hovering around 92, 93, sometimes 94. Do you think we need to get him to the hospital right away, or is it okay to wait? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on this.

Yes . Once the patient is stabilized patient can be discharged.

I've been feeling short of breath for quite a while now, and honestly, it's starting to worry me. I had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both came back normal, but I'm still having trouble catching my breath. And now there's this chest pain whenever I try to move around. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .
