View allI'm really concerned because I've been having this stuffed-up noise and chest congestion. There's even some pain in my chest, so I went ahead and got an x-ray. It shows mild prominence bronchovascular markings. Could this be a sign of TB? I'm worried because I need to have a medical test for my visa, and they specifically look for TB. Can you help me understand if these symptoms point to TB or something else?
its not a confirmation sign for Tuberculosis. You can go for Tuberculosis testing

I'm feeling really concerned because I've had chest congestion for almost two months now. Whenever I take a deep breath, there's this tightness in my airway, and it almost always triggers a cough. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some phlegm too. I haven't tried any medication yet, just some natural remedies. This seems to happen once a year for the past few years. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because all my test results are fine, except for my X-ray, which shows something off. The bottom three ribs on one side aren't visible, and there's a thin layer around my lung. I'm wondering, can this layer be treated or removed with medication? I also feel some discomfort when I take a deep breath. Any advice on what might be going on?
what kind of layer is it, water or air . consult a pulmonologist
