I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent HRCT thorax report. It mentioned that there are a few subcentimetric lymph nodes in the pre-tracheal and pre-carinal regions, but everything else seems normal. I've been having breathing issues, though my PFT report came back completely normal. It turns out the breathing problem is caused by an arytenoid covering half of my vocal cord. I just need to know, are these subcentimetric lymph nodes something to worry about, or are they considered normal?

Subcentimetric Lymph Nodes:
- Generally, subcentimetric lymph nodes in the thorax are not immediately concerning, especially if there are no other abnormal findings or symptoms.
-
Breathing Issues:
- The breathing problem related to the arytenoid affecting the vocal cord should be evaluated by an ENT specialist. This is likely the primary cause of your symptoms.
-
Recommendations:
- Follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor the lymph nodes.
- Consult an ENT specialist for further assessment and management of the arytenoid issue.

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm really worried about my mom. After she had severe Covid with pneumonia, her HRCT showed ground glass opacity. We did another HRCT later and it mentioned scattered ground glass opacity and something called Koch's lesion. Now, a year later, her CT scan shows a few lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm, and the doctor is suggesting a bronchoscopy. I'm confused and scared about why this is happening. Also, she has severe OSA and uses a machine at night. Could you help me understand what's going on and why the bronchoscopy is needed?
