I've been tested positive for Covid on July 30, 2020, but I didn't have any symptoms. They admitted me to the hospital anyway and did all sorts of tests like CBC, kidney, liver, d-dimer, ferritin, and some ECG and chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. I got out after a week and have been quarantining at home for six days now. The past three days, I've been feeling like I have this chest fullness, kind of like gastric issues. I went back to the hospital and got another X-ray, which looks fine. But my Spo2 levels have been always between 93 and 96 since I got home. I'm not really experiencing anything else, but I'm worried about how to improve my Spo2 levels. Can you give me some advice?

I'm 23 and dealing with tuberculosis, and I'm on medication for it. But lately, I've developed pulmonary fibrosis, and I'm super concerned about what's next. Is there any way to treat or even cure pulmonary fibrosis? My doctor mentioned it's irreversible but suggested that maybe it's not so bad since I'm young. Is it true that being young might help with managing this? I've read that people with pulmonary fibrosis might only live up to 35 yearsthat's really worrying me. Is there hope or treatment options out there?

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis for the past year and someone suggested that I should see a pulmonologist. I'm not sure what I should do next. Could you help me understand if seeing a specialist is the right move here? Or is there something else I should be considering?

Visiting a Pulmonologist is an excellent step in managing your allergic bronchitis; before the consultation, maintain a symptom journal, note down your medical history, and prepare a list of questions to ask the doctor; expect the Pulmonologist to perform a physical examination, review your test results, and possibly order additional tests like spirometry, peak flow, or allergy tests to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medications, lifestyle modifications, and avoidance of allergens.
