I'm a bit worried. I recently had a plain CT scan of my chest at Apollo Hospital in Chennai and it came back with some concerns. When I went for a medical check-up for Kuwait, the doctor said I was unfit because of something they found on my chest X-ray. They mentioned something about an abnormal chest and blunting in the right chest CP angle, and there's this white scar on the downside of my chest. I was told there's no medicine for it. What should I do to resolve this issue?

The discrepancy between the Apollo Hospital CT scan and the Kuwait medical checkup chest X-ray results suggests a possible error or misinterpretation; the "blunting of right costophrenic angle" and "white scar" may indicate a benign, old, healed lesion or scarring, and since the doctor said no medicine is required, you may want to consider a second opinion or a repeat CT scan to confirm the findings and clarify your fitness for work in Kuwait.

View allI'm kind of worried about my chest X-ray results. It says there's increased bronchovascular markings and the hila is prominent. Is this a normal finding, or should I be concerned about any potential issues? I'm not really sure what it all means and would really appreciate some clarity.
infection

I've been dealing with post-COVID issues and I'm really worried. Had COVID about six weeks ago, recovered at home, but after 15 days started having breathing difficulties and fatigue. The first doctor gave me the Foracart inhaler, but it caused a throat infection, so I stopped and took antibiotics instead. Then I got really bad allergy symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose, and my shortness of breath got worse. I changed doctors and they tested my IGe and PFT. The PFT came back normal, but my IGe is 3050. I was given Momeflo Montek BL for a month. Should I be concerned about this? And how long might it take for me to start feeling better?

I'm dealing with some bothersome allergies from dust and smoke, and it's making it tough to breathe. I'm getting the feeling these might be signs of asthma. Could you help me out with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing asthma symptoms due to your allergies. To help with your breathing difficulties, I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to provide immediate relief. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from a maintenance inhaler like Flovent (fluticasone) to help control your asthma symptoms in the long term. The typical dosage for adults is 2 puffs twice a day. It's important to use these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal management of your asthma symptoms.
