I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

I'm a bit worried because I've had this heavy, sticky cough for a month now, and it started right after I had a fever for two days. Whenever I cough, I feel pain in the nerves of my head. I've tried different cough syrups, but nothing seems to help. It's starting to feel quite similar to asthma. I'm 31, and Ive had a chest X-ray, which turned out normal. I've also got my LFT results back, and the numbers are slightly off from the normal rangeconjugated bilirubin is at 0.44, SGOT is 65.7, SGPT is 78, globulin is 4.3, and the AG ratio is 0.79. Should I be concerned about these numbers, and what should my next step be?

Can someone explain what it means if my chest X-ray shows prominent bronchovascular markings? I'm not sure which type of doctor I should consult for this.

A 3.7mm gallbladder polyp is relatively small. _Doctor's Recommendation_ 1. _Monitoring_: Your doctor's approach to monitor the polyp's size every 6 months is a reasonable strategy. 2. _No immediate concern_: The small size of the polyp (less than 10mm) suggests a low risk of malignancy. _Possible Reasons for Polyp Presence_ 1. _Cholesterol polyp_: Most gallbladder polyps are benign and composed of cholesterol. 2. _Inflammatory polyp_: Inflammation in the gallbladder can cause polyp formation. 3. _Other factors_: Genetics, obesity, and high cholesterol levels might contribute to polyp development. _Further Investigation_ 1. _Not necessary for now_: Given the small size of the polyp, further investigation might not be warranted at this time. 2. _Consider additional tests if_: You experience symptoms like abdominal pain, jaundice, or fever, or if the polyp grows significantly during follow-up. _Consider a Second Opinion or Further Discussion_ 1. _Ask about polyp characteristics_: Discuss the polyp's characteristics, such as its shape, size, and location, with your doctor. 2. _Understand the follow-up plan_: Clarify the follow-up schedule and criteria for re-evaluation. 3. _Seek a second opinion if unsure_: If you're concerned or unsure about your doctor's approach, consider consulting a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a second opinion.

My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?
