Question

I'm dealing with asthma and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take something like Alprazolam (Alp). Am I capable of managing this? Would you advise against it? I'm a bit worried and really need some guidance on this.

Question

I've had a cough and minor fever that started about 10 days ago. I took some medicine for it, but my cough still hasn't gotten any better. The fever usually kicks in during the evening, but not so much in the noon. Lately, my cough has gotten really bad, and it's so intense sometimes that it makes me vomit. I've also noticed a bit of blood in the mornings after coughing. The cough feels like it's coming from my chest rather than my throat. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

Question

I'm really concerned about the potential effects of doing an HRCT. Could it actually stimulate or spread any existing fibrotic opacities in the lungs? I'm worried because I've heard mixed opinions about it and would love some clarity from you.

Question

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest under the lower ribs whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for three days now. Plus, I've started feeling short of breath during the same time. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
