I'm from Delhi and I've been experiencing some issues with my breathing. My SpO2 level sometimes drops to 93 and then slowly returns to 97 after several hours. I also have a little cough. My doctor asked me to get an x-ray, and I've attached it here. Can you look at my x-ray and tell me if there's anything concerning about my lungs?

I'm trying to get a job in Dubai but during the medical exam, they said I was unfit because of bronchi vascular markings in my chest x-rays. I've been on medication for about three weeks but haven't seen any improvement. I did another x-ray and it's still the same. Can you give me advice on what I should do? I really need to clear the medical exam.

I'm 24 and have been on anti-tuberculosis meds for a while, and tomorrow is my last day of them. Been super disciplined with my meds, and luckily my tests showed no AFB after two months and my chest X-ray was clear. I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benaadon 40, and I've been feeling alrightgood appetite, no nausea. But what's been bothering me for the past 45 days is this mild pain in my left chest, plus a dry cough that sometimes comes with phlegm. Is this something to worry about? Could it be related to COVID or is it just a normal thing that happens with TB? I'm really worried.

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
