I'm really curious about the results of my chest X-ray. The doctor mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what that actually means? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal?

Prominent bronchovascular markings is suggestive of asthma,pneumonia,heart failure or pleural effusion etc.

I'm really worried about my dad - he's in the early stages of lung fibrosis after having COVID. Is there any treatment or way to cure lung fibrosis? I've heard of it being difficult to handle, so any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Lung fibrosis, especially in the early stages, can sometimes be managed with medications like antifibrotics (e.g., pirfenidone or nintedanib) to slow progression. It's crucial to follow your doctor's advice, manage any underlying conditions, and focus on pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function and quality of life. Regular check-ups are essential.

I'm having a tough time with my breathingI struggle to take deep breaths sometimes, and I've been relying on breathing through my mouth for the past four months. I visited a pulmonologist who had me take a chest X-ray, but it came back normal. He prescribed Razo D Tab 20mg for three weeks. Things seemed better during the first week, but by the second week, the breathing issues returned. Other than this, I'm eating well and sleeping properly, but every now and then, when the breathing gets difficult, I feel fatigued. There's no other issue apart from this. However, due to the current lockdown, I can't visit a clinic for a follow-up. What should I do next? Any suggestions on managing this?

I'm a 45-year-old woman and I've been having trouble breathing for the past 3 to 4 years. Sometimes it feels like I have to forcefully inhale and it's quite concerning. I've already seen many doctors and they've prescribed medications like Feliz S Plus and Beloc Plus, but nothing seems to really help. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next or who else I can see about this. Can you give me some advice on who else to consult or what other steps I might take?
