I'm currently dealing with a tough breathing issue due to severe bronchitis and I've been trying out a few medications like the levosalbutamol inhaler, ibites inhaler, pulmoclear syrup, and also using a nasal spray for about two days. But ever since I started, I've noticed my heart rate is going through the roof, and on top of that, I'm feeling really restless and sleepy. Any idea how I can manage these side effects or should I be worried about them?

It's pretty concerning, so I'd love to get some advice on what to do next.

Question

Im really worried about my dad. He was just diagnosed with ILD Fibrotic NSIP and he's been dealing with a dry cough for two years and shortness of breath for the past six months. He's been prescribed Perfinex 200, Iverped, and Atarax. His oximeter shows oxygen levels between 96-98%. Could you give me an idea of what his life expectancy might be with this condition? Is there a chance that his symptoms wont get worse?

Question

I'm really confused about my chest x-ray results. It says BVM, but I'm not sure if that means bivascular markings or bronchovascular markings, or if they're actually the same thing. I had the x-ray because I was checking for swollen lymph nodes. What exactly does BVM mean in this context? Should I be worried?
