I'm planning a trip to the Gulf, and I just got my chest X-ray report back. It mentions something about prominent broncho vascular markings. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm concerned about whether it could cause any issues in my medical consultation or during my trip. Is this something serious? Can it be treated or managed somehow?

Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray indicate increased visibility of the airways and blood vessels, which can be a normal finding, but may also be associated with conditions like asthma, COPD, or pulmonary hypertension; in the context of your Gulf medical, it might raise concerns, but it's unlikely to be a major issue unless accompanied by other abnormal findings or symptoms;

View allI 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 Manoj Asthana. He's dealing with a serious lung issue and was COVID-positive about ten days ago, but thankfully, his test is negative now. However, he's still needing oxygen support, and his HRCT score is alarmingly high at 24 out of 25. I've attached his chest X-ray and HRCT report. Could you let us know what steps we should take next? We're really anxious about his condition.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

My mom was diagnosed with COPD and dilated RARVPA about three months ago. She tested positive for COVID last week but has since recovered. However, her oxygen levels sometimes drop to 80, especially when she's sleeping. I'm really worried about how serious this might be. Can you tell me more about what foods she should avoid and what she should be eating instead?
no it is not serious. But need to take medication for COPD. avoid foods like banana, curd
