I'm a bit worried about something I read in a report: there's something called a "suspicious infiltration" in my right upper lobe. I work full-time, and I'm wondering if that's okay, considering this condition? Should I be concerned about continuing my job as usual?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been feeling this heaviness in my left upper area and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. It's getting really uncomfortable and annoying. I saw a cardiologist but they didn't find anything. To feel better, I sometimes have to take deep breaths through my mouth. Do you have any ideas on what could help or any medicine you can suggest?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on a ventilator for the past two weeks because he can't breathe on his own. The doctor mentioned there's fluid building up in his lungs. What could cause this, and is there anything more we can do to help his condition? I'm feeling anxious about his recoveryany suggestions?

Question

Is it okay for a 17-year-old boy to use an asthalin inhaler? If I start using it, do I need to carry it everywhere I go? Could it actually lead to more breathing issues after using it? I checked online and found info saying the inhaler works for about 4-6 hours after taking two puffs. Does that mean the breathing problems will definitely return after those hours?
