Question 1

I recently had a checkup at Fortis Hospital and the chest X-ray showed tiny calcifications in the left mid-zone of my chest. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Thats unusual,if you have no symptoms ,no need to worry have a regular follow up with your doctor

Question 2

I'm kind of worried because I finished my TB treatment a year ago, but now I'm experiencing chest pain, although I don't have a cough or anything like that. I'm just wondering, is it possible that the TB could be back even though my reports aren't showing any signs of it?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised ecg,chest xray pa view and also sputum for AFB and microscopy.

Question 3

I've been having some breathing issues whenever the seasons change, and it's been happening for the past few years. It usually comes and goes on its own, but this time, it's been going on for about 23 days. I'm also feeling a bit of heaviness in the upper center of my chest, which feels really strange when I breathe. I don't have a fever, sore throat, or other flu-like symptoms. A few days ago, I started taking Grilinctus because it was recommended by a doctor for the same issue before, along with some other medicines that I can't remember now. I even got an Asthalin inhaler for emergencies, though I've never used an inhaler before, and I haven't tried this one yet either. While the breathing problem seems slightly better, the chest heaviness is making me anxious. Could this be asthma or possibly a heart problem? It's kind of stressing me out because it's hard to see a doctor right now with everything going on. Any advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

yes you might have asthma ,just do some confirmatiory tests

since chest xray is normal, need not to worry. reduce your stress levels
