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've been struggling with a stuffed nose and trouble breathing for the past month, plus some chest pain for the last two weeks. I've seen a few doctors and tried medications for acidity, but nothing seems to help. I'm really anxious about whether this could be COVID-19, and I'm having trouble sleeping at night because of it. What could be going on?

I recently had a TB test and the results mentioned something called "tenting of the left hemidiaphragm." I'm curious and a bit worried about what might have caused this. Is it something serious, and could it be a sign of TB?

Tenting of the left hemidiaphragm can be caused by various factors such as inflammation, injury, or infection. While it may not directly indicate tuberculosis (TB), it could suggest other conditions affecting the diaphragm. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the cause.

I'm really worried about my 63-year-old mom. She has COPD bronchitis and has been on medication for a while now, like using a nebulizer and inhalers. We just got her X-ray done, and it said there are fibrotic changes in RV2, but everything else is normal. At home, she's on oxygen all the time, and her levels on the oximeter show between 92 to 98 when she's using it. But as soon as we take off the oxygen, it drops to 60 or 70. Her COVID test came back negative, but I don't understand why her blood oxygen levels aren't improving. Could you please help us understand what's happening and what we should do next?
