Question 1

So, I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago, and the results came back showing something about bilateral prominent hila and prominent bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this means. Is it something serious that I need to worry about? Should I be looking into treatment for it? Lately, I've been experiencing some shortness of breath and breathing issues too. Would love to get some insight on this.

Accepted Answer

The X-ray findings suggest increased prominence of the lung structures, which could be due to various conditions like inflammation, infection, or early signs of lung diseases. Since you're experiencing shortness of breath, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. They may recommend additional tests to determine the cause and guide you on the necessary steps for management.

Question 2

I'm really starting to worry because even though I've been on the treatment for Tuberculosis since early August, I'm not seeing any improvement. I have these persistent symptoms like daily evening fevers and joint pains, and I've stopped losing weight but not gaining back what I lostI used to weigh 62 kg and now I'm stuck at 55 kg. The CECT scan showed some enlarged lymph nodes in different areas like prevascular and hilar regions, and I can't get rid of this feeling that it might be something more serious, like a malignancy. It's been 6 weeks since I started the treatment. Is it time to consider other possibilities or should I stick with the current treatment plan a little longer?
