I've just got the results from my premedical checkup for a job in the Gulf, and the X-ray showed that I have prominent broncho vascular markings in both lungs. I had a lot of phlegm when I was a kid, but that was sorted out a long time ago. I dont have any signs of tuberculosis or asthma, my weight and appetite are both good, and I havent had any fevers. My doctor said its not a disease, comparing it to a scar from an old injury. What does this mean? Should I be worried or is it nothing to stress over?

I've recently been diagnosed with pneumonitis in my lungs by my family doctor, and now they've suggested seeing a specialist. I'm a bit worried and curious about what that might entail. Could you help me understand more about what pneumonitis is and why I might need further treatment from a specialist? Is this condition really serious, and what usually happens during these specialist consultations? I'm just trying to make sense of it all and figure out what I should expect.

I'm experiencing this pain in my upper chest, especially when I breathe deeply, cough, sneeze, or laugh, but I don't have a fever. However, I've got this dry cough going on. This has been happening for about a week and a half now. I'm a regular smoker, maybe around 3 to 4 cigarettes a day. Could this be something serious, or is it linked to my smoking habits? What should I do?

The pain you're experiencing in the upper chest, especially while breathing heavily, coughing, sneezing, or laughing, could be due to inflammation or irritation of the muscles or tissues around the chest, often linked to a respiratory condition. The dry cough and your smoking habit may also contribute to this discomfort. It's important to monitor your symptoms, and I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
