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.

View allI'm 26 and I've noticed that my oxygen level on the pulse oximeter is usually at 95, but sometimes it drops to 93 before going back to 95. My pulse rate is mostly around 92. I don't have any other symptoms, so I'm wondering if this is normal. Which type of doctor should I see about this?
A pulse oximeter reading of 93-95% is generally within an acceptable range, though it can vary slightly depending on factors like positioning or movement. Since you dont have other symptoms, it's likely normal, but if you're concerned, consulting a **general physician** or a **pulmonologist** for a thorough evaluation would be a good idea.

I've been really concerned about my friend who's been having blood mixed with his morning sputum for the past three months. Since November, he's noticed a little blood in his saliva even during the day. He's had all sorts of tests done, like endoscopy, bronchoscopy, and blood tests, but everything's coming back normal. What other tests should he consider to get to the bottom of this, and which specialist should he see for a proper diagnosis? Also, could you recommend any good doctors in Coimbatore he could consult with?
That could be Capillary bleed I suggest not to rush ,take time, consume warm water and maintain oral hygiene that would help,if it's becoming worse, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my mom, she's 63 and has had asthma for a long while. Lately, she's been having trouble with her breathing and she's also been getting headaches. We went to the hospital and got an X-ray, ECG, and COVID test done, and thankfully, everything came back normal. But I'm still concerned and thinking of keeping her on oxygen at home for a bit because I'm afraid of the risks at the hospital. Can you tell me how to get an oxygen cylinder for home use and what precautions I should take?
give asthma medications instead of oxygen
