My mom's had these symptoms like fever, cough, cold, and just feeling off for about a week now. The first doctor's tests were kind of inconclusive about whether it was TB or not. So, they sent her to another hospital where they did a bunch of more thorough tests like CT scans and skin tests and said she doesn't have TB. She's feeling better overall, but I'm still worried because she's still coughing. She did have a cough before that usually gets worse in winter and she's quite sensitive to the cold. My family thinks her coughing now is normal, but I'm not so sure. What do you think? Would love your guidance on this!

View allI've been having some issues with my left lung and just got my x-ray results back. It shows there's some blunting at the bottom of my left lung. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take next?
Blunting at the bottom of the left lung on your X-ray could indicate fluid accumulation or scarring, which may result from infections, pleurisy, or other conditions. Its important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible tests to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with asthma for over 8 years now and my doctor prescribed me a budesonide formoterol inhaler. Things have improved a bit, but I still have to use it, especially in winter. I just got over COVID about two weeks ago, but I've been noticing that if I sleep with the fan on high and no blanket, I get breathing issues because of the cold. This even happens during the summer. I always need a blanket when I sleep. Last night, around 3am, I had a breathing problem and tightness in my chest. My oxygen level was 89, but it went back above 93 after I turned off the fan and used a blanket. During the day, my oxygen is above 95. I'm worried because my oxygen levels drop at night. I've had this issue since I was a child, but back then, I didnt have a way to monitor my SpO2. Is this normal in asthma?
it might be due to nasal congestion, take steam inhalation before you sleep. it is not normal. there might be slight positional variations,but not this much

I'm having some troubles with my breathing and I'm feeling really worried. It's like I can't take a deep breath properly and my brain feels like it's not functioning properly. I've been feeling constantly tired and my head feels pressured, almost like the oxygen isn't reaching my brain even though I'm breathing normally. It's a consistent issue that just doesn't go away. Could there be something wrong with how the oxygen is getting to my brain? I'm really looking for some guidance on this. Please help me understand what's going on.
