I'm a bit worried because I had a chest X-ray on May 20, which was all clear. But then another X-ray on July 1 showed tenting of the left hemi diaphragm. Can someone explain what this means and if I should be concerned? I was COVID positive on April 9, and I haven't been vaccinated yet. Plus, my heart rate is pretty high, and I'm experiencing chest pain. What should I do next?

I'm currently on my sixth month of TB treatment, but I've been having this cough for about 10-15 days now. I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing serious, just continued with my usual meds like Rcinex. He also gave me something for allergies like Allegra and some antibiotics. But I saw on my X-ray report from the radiologist that it says "bronchiovascular marking is prominent in bilateral lung field" and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this?

yes it is finding of tuberculosis , it will go away after complete treatment of tuberculosis

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having. I've had a productive cough and breathing issues for about a month. The doctor told me it was bronchitis and gave me medication like LezineM and Levoflox, which helped a lot, but now that I'm done with the treatment, the breathing issues are creeping back a bit. Also, I've noticed the lower part of my throat moves in and out when I breathe. My chest X-ray and blood work came back normal, and while I'm not coughing really hard, there's still a bit of it. Could these be signs of lung cancer?

no it cannot be a lung cancer
