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 recently had a checkup at Fortis Hospital and the chest X-ray showed tiny calcifications in the left mid-zone of my chest. Is this something I should be worried about?

Question

I'm having a really hard time breathing, and my neck on the right side hurts. It's my back and side too, making it impossible to lay down. This has been happening for a while. Can you help me figure out why this is happening or what I should do? I'm 16, and it's just getting worse. I've tried using heat and cold, but nothing's working. Any advice?

Question

I'm dealing with this constant breathlessness and I'm not sure if it's from a cold or maybe GERD. I'm having a hard time expanding my chest sometimes, and when I wake up, one of my nostrils is often blocked. Ive had an echo, ECG, TMT, and a chest X-ray done, and all are normal. Every now and then, I take theophylline, which seems to relax things, but I'm still unsure what's actually causing these issues. Could you shed some light on what might be going on?
