I'm really worried because my recent CT scan and X-ray showed I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lung. There's also something about my lower bowel that's concerning. Could this be why I've been having breathing issues or stomach discomfort? What could these findings mean for my health and are there any specific treatments you would recommend?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a cough, fever, and breathing problems for the past three months. I've been to the hospital and they said it's pneumonia, but even with the medication, I don't feel any better. Can you tell me what the best treatment would be?

we need to know the severity of pneumonia and then start treatment

I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea but I'm not keen on using a CPAP machine or surgery. Are there other ways to treat it naturally or with lifestyle changes? What options have worked for others?

Yes, besides CPAP and surgery, various lifestyle changes and alternative therapies can help manage sleep apnea. Many people find success with losing weight, practicing positional therapy (sleeping on their side), and using oral appliances.

I've been recovering from COVID for about 7 months now, and my CT score initially was 12 right after, but it dropped to 7 a few months later. I recently checked my SpO2 while lying down with my head on a pillow, and it was around 95-96, but when I sat in a chair, it was 98. Plus, I'm able to walk about 3-4 km daily without any issues. Is there anything serious I should be concerned about here?

no its normal ,no need to worry
