Can you help me understand what's going on with my lungs? My report mentioned that the bronchovascular field is prominent in the bilateral lung fields, and there are some small calcific foci in the right lung field. I've also noticed a little sputum forming and coming out. Should I be worried about these findings?

  1. Prominent Bronchovascular Markings:

    • This can indicate increased blood flow or inflammation. Common in infections or chronic conditions like bronchitis.
  2. Calcific Foci:

    • Small calcifications are often benign, possibly from past infections or inflammation.
  3. Sputum Production:

    • May suggest an active infection or inflammation. Monitor for changes in color or volume.
  4. Recommendation:

    • Consult a healthcare provider for a detailed evaluation and correlation with symptoms. Further tests may be needed to rule out significant conditions.

I'm really concerned about my husband. He tested positive for COVID-19 back on May 17, 2021, and it's been over three months since then. On May 24th, a CT scan showed he had 25% lung involvement. He was on oxygen support for a month and got discharged on June 22, 2021, so it's been about two and a half months now. His oxygen level is around 98-99 when he's just sitting, but when he does brisk walking or climbs stairs quickly, his breathing gets faster for a couple of minutes, and then settles back down. During this time, his oxygen saturation levels drop to about 89-93 for a few seconds before going back up to 99 and staying there. Is this something we should be worried about? Also, he sometimes gets a dry cough a few times a day and feels a mild chest pain then. His respiratory rate is around 20-22 bpm. Are these symptoms normal or is there something we should be looking into? I'm really anxious about all this.

no need to worry, its normal
