I've been feeling this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath or sneeze. It's been going on for about two months, and sometimes it feels mild, but other times it's sharp. Plus, it hurts more when I do anything physical. The pain even goes up to my right shoulder and back. I don't have a cough or sore throat or anything like that, just this weird pain. What do you think it could be?

View allI'm a bit worried because my x-ray results show I have a lung nodule. I'm applying to be a public teacher, and I don't have any pain or issues in my lung area, and I rarely cough. From what I know, a nodule isn't a communicable disease, so do you think I can still get a fit-to-work clearance?
Patient is advised bronchoscopy,FNAC and biopsy of the nodule for further management.Nodule biopsy is sent for cytology,micoscopy and AFB .Kindly review with the reports.

I've been having these moments where it feels like I can't really breathe, especially after eating or sometimes at night. It's like I'm not getting enough air or something. If I try to breathe deeply, I get this tightness in my back and upper chest. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm trying to understand my mom's X-ray report better. It mentions "Prominent bronchovascular markings in bilateral lower zones" and raises concerns about pneumonitis. They suggested an RTPCR test because of the current pandemic, but her test came back negative. Her oxygen levels are good at 99, and although she had a cough and fever, she's okay now with just a slight cough every now and then. Can you help explain what this all might mean?
report indicates that there was some inflammation or infection in her lungs (possibly pneumonitis), but since her RT-PCR test is negative, it's likely not related to COVID-19. The fact that her symptoms have improved (fever gone, only occasional cough) and her oxygen saturation is normal is a good sign of recovery.
