I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having symptoms like a dry cough and shortness of breath. The doctor suggested an HRCT scan, so we got it done. Can you check the report and help us understand what's really going on with his condition?

Question

I'm working a night shift from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and I've been having this issue where my breathing stops while I'm asleep. When I wake up in the morning, I end up vomiting, and there's also this white spit. It's honestly quite worrying, and I could really use some advice on what's going on here. Any insights would be appreciated.

Question

I'm really worried about my husbands health. His oxygen levels dropped below 90 a couple of days ago, and now it's been hovering between 93-95 for the past month. A month back, his RT-PCR test came out negative. Hes also pre-diabetic and has borderline cholesterol. Can you give me some advice on what we should do next?

Question

I've been having this breathlessness issue for a while now. It's strange because I don't have asthma and my blood pressure is normal. The doctor did some kind of small lung test using this tiny machine on my finger, and that came out normal too. But I keep getting this really frequent cough and have problems with acidity. Could they be related? I'm wondering if this is something serious. What's your take on it?
