I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

I found out I had COVID on April 20th, and although I'm on medication, I'm mostly just taking vitamins and that ascoril ls cough syrup now. My cough is still really bad, especially in the evenings and at night. This morning I coughed so much that I noticed some blood in my sputum a couple of times. What should I do to get better? Would love some advice.

I'm really concerned about this thing that's been happening to me at night. When I'm just about to fall asleep or sometimes even in the middle of the night, I'll wake up gasping for air. It's really frightening. I'm taking Olzole right now for my heartburn and gas, and I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing might be sleep apnea or is it just because of my GERD acting up. It used to happen before but not as often as it does now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Probable diagnosis is Gerd, patient is advised pan d ,orally.once daily for 14 days before food..Avoid spicy foods.

What is meant by pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities? I got my CT scan report, and it mentions two pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities. One is about 44.7mm by 18.3mm in the posterior lateral basal segment and another 55.5mm by 26mm in the posterior and medial basal segment of the right lower lobe. Theres also a smaller one, about 12.5mm by 3.9mm in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. The report says there's no calcification or lucent areas in the masses, and no hilar lymphadenopathy or pleural effusion, thickening, or calcification. Could you help me understand what all this means?

there might be fibrosis at that point of lung ,that refers to opacities
