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?

I've been noticing that ever since 2018, whenever I have my first spit in the morning, there's been a little blood in it. It's been happening for a couple of years now. Sometimes it's just a tiny amount and other times a bit more. I went for a full health check-up in October 2019, and my chest X-ray came back normal, so now I'm wondering, could this be a sign of something serious?

Could be due to Gerd and reflux. Need more detail history from you

I've been having this sharp needle-like pain in my chest on the left side, and my legs are aching too. I'm kind of worried. Could this mean I have a pulmonary embolism?

Is it okay for my treatment to stop Ethambutol after just two months even though my chest X-ray is better and my doctor said to keep taking Isoniazid, Rifampicin, and Pyrazinamide? I mean, I didn't have positive sputum results or a Mantoux test, but my CT scan showed TB and I had a constant cough for a long time. I'm a bit worried about changing the meds too soon.

yes it is normal, there might be some side effect related to ethambutol
