I've been told I have a prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular marking in both of my lungs. I'm really curious about what that means for my health and what steps I should take next. Can you help explain these terms and suggest what should be done about this?

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent HRCT scan, which showed small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe. I'm not currently experiencing any health issues, so should I be worried about this finding? Is it something serious?

The HRCT report indicates a small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe, which suggests some scarring or fibrosis in the lung tissue. While this could be due to past inflammation or mild injury, it's important to monitor and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. It's not necessarily a serious issue, but it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

I'm really worried because I've been having Covid symptoms, like chest pain and breathing issues, but my RT-PCR tests always come back negative. It's been 1.5 months since this all started, and my recent chest X-ray showed congested bilateral hila. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it possible I still have a Covid infection, or could it be something else?

it just means you have slight inflammation. you don't have covid infection now

I'm a bit concerned because I recovered from COVID-19 about 15 days ago, but I still have some lingering issues. I had a mild case with just a loss of smell, but now I'm experiencing weakness, constant hunger, headaches, gastric problems, and some breathing difficulties. My oxygen levels dropped to 94-96 while they're usually 98-99. Is this something I should be worried about? What should I do?

do breathing exercises
