I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

there might be variuos reasons for elevated diaphragm, but seeing your symptoms it might be related to increased liver size, check your bilirubin levels

I've got an oximeter at home because my grandma uses oxygen therapy, and I've noticed something about my grandpa's oxygen levels. When he's lying down or asleep, his oxygen level is usually around 92-95, mostly hovering between 93 and 94, but when he's sitting up, it goes up to 97 or 98. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? He's 70, and he doesn't have any breathing problems.

If oxygen saturation drops below 92.. oxygen is advised to the patient.Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice

I've been dealing with a mild pain in my right chest for the past three months, and I'm starting to worry. I don't have a cough or anything serious like that, but for some reason, I've gotten in the habit of exhaling this white mucus from my right lung and spitting it out, like, over 200 times a day. It feels like I can't stop this habit without feeling a kind of burning sensation in my lung, like something's there and it starts acting up. The mucus is pure white, not bloody, sometimes even gel-like. Could this be causing the chest pain? Should I be worried about this habit?

use syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week

I'm feeling really under the weather with this cold I've had for the past five days. I went ahead and got a chest X-ray, and the results mentioned something about mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in the bilateral lower zone. Does this sound serious to you, and is there a chance it could be related to tuberculosis? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate some insight on this.

The mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in your chest X-ray typically indicate mild inflammation or irritation in the lungs, often seen with respiratory infections like the common cold. It is not a specific sign of tuberculosis. However, its best to follow up with your doctor for a complete evaluation and to rule out any other concerns.
