So, I got my apicolordotic view test results and it mentions a few fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, possibly related to Koch's etiology. What does this mean? Should I be concerned about Koch's disease, and what are the next steps I should take?

The Apicolordotic view X-ray report suggests that you may have had tuberculosis (TB) in the past, as indicated by the presence of fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, which are likely scars from healed TB lesions, also known as Koch's lesions.

I've noticed that my oxygen saturation was between 99 to 100 before I got COVID. Even though I just had a mild case with some cold and fever for a day and a mild cough, my SpO2 dropped to 95-96 now. I'm wondering why this happened and how long it might take for it to get back to normal. Could you help me understand this?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.
