Question

I'm a 29-year-old woman and I've just been diagnosed with mild obstructive airway disease. The report mentions airway obstruction without significant post bronchodilator reversibility. How serious is this, and is it related to COPD?

Question

I'm feeling really confused and a bit worried after I got my results from a pre-medical exam for work on Wednesday. My X-ray results mentioned something about "pulmo clearance," and I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. I haven't had any issues with TB, or even a cough in the past year. Can you help me understand what I should do next?

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife. She's 32, doesn't smoke, and has had this persistent dry cough for almost a month now. It's like clockworkevery 30 minutes, and the coughing lasts about 4 to 5 seconds. We've already seen a pulmonary specialist. The first time, he prescribed some antibiotics, and then after two weeks, they did an X-ray, which came back normal. The doctor switched up the meds after that. It got slightly better for a bit, but for the last 4 days, the cough has returned, especially when she's lying down. I'm attaching the last prescription we received for reference. Right now, she's only using an inhaler twice a day as the rest of the medication course has ended. Could you give us any advice on what might be happening or what we should do next?

Question

I'm experiencing this pain on the right side of my chest and around my breastbone. It gets worse when I breathe or when I change positions while sleeping. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
