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'm feeling pretty uneasy these past three days because of some breathing issues. It's odd because I can run for 2 km without any trouble, but when I'm lying down, I'm experiencing shortness of breath. I'm also dealing with a bit of a dry cough. My blood pressure and oxygen levels are normal, though. What could be causing these symptoms?

What are the 4 types of hypoxia?

The four types are as follows: (1) the hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the hemoglobin. (2) the anemic type, in which the amount of functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too low. (3) the stagnant type, in which the blood is or may be normal but the flow of blood to the tissues is reduced or unevenly distributed. (4) the histotoxic type, in which the tissue cells are poisoned and are therefore unable to make proper use of oxygen.

I'm kind of worried about my chest and I'd like some advice. My CT scan showed a subtle thin fibrotic band in the lateral segment of the right middle lobe, and they mentioned something about Corads3 being indeterminate for COVID infection, and the score was 01 out of 25. Does this mean its serious? I've been feeling heaviness and pain in the middle of my chest for the last 2 to 3 months. I'm anxious because my X-rays and all my other tests like blood work, ECG, endoscopy, and more came back normal. Ive been dealing with anxiety for about six months too. Could the CT findings be something to worry about?
