Question 1

My husband has been dealing with sarcoidosis for about a year and a half now, and he was on methylpred for a year. He's asymptomatic at the moment, but I'm really curious about how we can tell if the disease is still present or if it's gone into remission. Can a chest X-ray reveal if the disease is still there, or would it show enlarged lymph nodes and other markers even when he's in remission? How can I tell if he's recovering early on?

Accepted Answer

do antibody test

Question 2

I've been feeling short of breath lately, even though my pulmonary function tests came back normal. I don't have any chest pain or a cough. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that happens sometimes? What else could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

might be due to anxiety , drink plenty of water, stress management

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about a recent x-ray I had for a job-related issue. The report mentioned something about bronchovascular markings in my lungs. I'm wondering if it would help to take an antibiotic course to improve my condition. I have a small amount of breathing trouble, but it gets much worse whenever I catch a cold. Could you give me some advice on what I could do to prevent lung infections?

Accepted Answer

Bronchovascular markings on an X-ray indicate inflammation or congestion, but antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections; to prevent lung infections and manage symptoms, consider consulting your pulmonologist

try doing yoga and exercises.
