So, I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago, and the results came back showing something about bilateral prominent hila and prominent bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this means. Is it something serious that I need to worry about? Should I be looking into treatment for it? Lately, I've been experiencing some shortness of breath and breathing issues too. Would love to get some insight on this.

The X-ray findings suggest increased prominence of the lung structures, which could be due to various conditions like inflammation, infection, or early signs of lung diseases. Since you're experiencing shortness of breath, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. They may recommend additional tests to determine the cause and guide you on the necessary steps for management.

View allI'm really worried about my allergic asthma that's been going on for 20 years now. Every March, it seems to get worse, and I've been using the Seretide Accuhaler 50050mcg for the past 15 years. Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty in breathing and a tight feeling in my chest. I just got my chest X-ray done, and it showed haziness in the left lower lung zone with prominent vascular markings. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned.
The haziness in your left lower lung zone and prominent vascular markings could indicate mild inflammation or fluid retention in the lungs, which may be related to your asthma or a respiratory infection. It's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment adjustments to manage your breathing difficulties and chest tightness.

I recently started my TB medication and usually take it around 9 in the morning, but I messed up and forgot to have it on time. I just remembered it at about 11 at night and decided to take it then. I'm worried if taking it so late might cause any issues. Should I be concerned about this lapse in my schedule?

Can I keep an oxygen cylinder at home just in case, as a precaution for COVID, while waiting for hospital admission? Would having this on hand help maintain the oxygen saturation levels if things get critical before I can get to the hospital?
