Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your lungs may be unable to process the intake of oxygen or your heart may not able to pump blood effectively.

View allI'm looking at my x-ray report, and it mentions that the bronchovascular markings are prominent. Is this something I should be worried about? What does it actually mean, and could it be related to any serious lung issues? I would really appreciate some clarity on this.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms lately. I have a history of allergic asthma, and I've noticed that when I inhale strong perfumes, it triggers a cold and a dry cough. I work outdoors a lot and have been using hand sanitizer frequently. For about a month now, I've noticed bloody mucus in my throat, which I end up swallowing, and it leaves a metallic taste. When I took a rapid corona test, it came out negative, although when they took the nasal swab, there was some blood on the stick. I don't have any other symptoms, but when I don't sleep well, I have a mild dry cough. I even tried antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Could this be related to inhaling the sanitizer while rubbing it on my hands? What should I do about it? What remedies or steps should I take?
