I've been feeling really unwell since May. It started with mild pain in the upper center of my chest, then turned into a high fever. By the 17th, I lost my taste and smell. Soon after, I noticed mild chest pain right in the center along with shortness of breath, but these weren't everyday occurrences. Strangely enough, these symptoms appeared again about 34 days later, and now they're back from June 23. This time, the pain has shifted a bit to the left and I'm having trouble breathing. Is this something serious? Could you please give me some advice?

View allI'm really worried about my wife's health. A couple of days ago, she started having severe pain and then found it hard to breathe, so we rushed to the closest hospital. Her breathing was really limited, maybe only happening every 10 to 15 seconds. The doctors there suggested we head to a larger hospital right away. It felt like we were about to lose her, but thankfully, once they gave her oxygen, she began to breathe normally within a few minutes. However, her pain continued for nearly an hour afterward. They ran some tests like x-rays, ultrasound, CBC, and lipase, and everything came back normal, so they let her go. But then the following night, she had a similar breathing issue, though she seemed fine after about 5 minutes. The same thing happened again this morning. I'm starting to get really concerned. Is this something serious that we should be worried about? She also forgets things quickly, sometimes shakes, and looks shocked when we wake her up from sleep. Could there be some psychological issues at play here too? I'm at a loss because she was never like this before, not even during COVID, and she doesn't have asthma. I'm really eager to know what's going on with her breathing issues. Any insight would be really helpful.

My father-in-law just had a chest X-ray today and the report mentioned something about prominent bronchovascular markings in his lung field. Could you help me understand what this means? Is there any chance this could be a sign of something chronic?
it might be due to infection

Hey, I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with type 2 diabetes for a while now and recently, about 3 months back, he got diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. He didn't tell anyone in our family because he thought it was just a regular cough and cold. But when things didn't get better, we had him tested, and it turned out to be TB. The chest X-ray and CT scan show a significant infection in both his lungs, with consolidation and cavitation, but thankfully no pleural or pericardial effusion. Now he's also got pneumonia because of all this. He's been on DOTS treatment for the last 10 days, but he's still coughing up phlegm. I'm anxious to know when we might start seeing some improvement in his condition. Could you shed some light on this?
it atleast will take 2-3 months to improve his condition, but you should continue DOTS for 6 months
