Question

I'm really anxious about my mom's recent chest pain. The doctor suggested a CT scan, and the report mentions something about alveolo fibrotic opacity in her left upper lobe and the superior segment of her right lower lobe. It also noted no pleural effusion thickening. Could you explain what all this means? I'm really worried about her.

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad. His oxygen levels are consistently around 94 or 93, and he's taking medication for high blood pressure. Also, he has a very large stomach. Could this be affecting his oxygen levels? What should we do about it?

Question

I'm really struggling with chest pressure and tightness and it's been hard to breathe. I've stopped vaping for 3 days now, but the symptoms haven't improved. I don't have a fever, cold, or cough, but I'm feeling really anxious, almost like I have corona. I'm wondering if this could be due to poor eating habits or constipation? What can I do to feel better?

Question

I'm a long-time smoker, and I'm starting to focus more on my health recently. I've managed to cut down on smoking a bit. I don't have any breathing issues at the moment, but I usually get routine blood tests. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to get a lung checkup too. What do you suggest?
