I'm a bit worried about my X-ray report. It mentions mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and a horizontal fissure. Is this something I should be concerned about? I recently had a cold with a cough and fever for a few days, but after taking antibiotics, the fever's gone. That's why I went for a chest X-ray. Could you help me understand what these findings mean?

So Ive been checking my oxygen levels with an oximeter and it seems to start at 96 but then drops to 88 within just a couple of minutes. Im not showing any symptoms and I havent tested positive for COVID. Should I be worried about this or could it just be that the oximeter isnt working right?

Better to check with other oimetres,if its still showing the same get an ray doen and visit Physician for appropriate management

I'm a bit worried because I had a viral and throat infection two weeks ago, and while most symptoms have gone, I still have a cough with brown and yellow phlegm for about 1.5 weeks now. Should I get a chest X-ray to check if everything's normal, or should I be looking into a TB test?

no need of tuberculosis test

I'm a bit confused about my recent test results and could use some advice. My spirometry report came back normal, but my FeNO level is around 35. I'm not sure what this could mean. Could it be a sign of asthma or allergies, or maybe something else? Also, my SPO2 level is consistently at 98. Would love to get a better understanding of all this.

this test indicates the amount of nitric oxide exhaled, which is used to diagnose asthma. since your feno value is increased it might be asthma, but not a confirmatory test
