Question

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. It feels like my chest is blocked, and there's an unwanted cough that's causing my lungs to feel like they're blocked too. It's making it really hard to run or even catch my breath sometimes. Could this be a chest infection or something else? What can I do to help clear this up?

Question

I'm having trouble with breathing and have been using Seroflo but recently switched to Foromonide Rotocap. Can you help me understand how these two differ? I'm curious if there are specific advantages or anything important I should know about using Formonide compared to Seroflo.

Question

I'm really worried about my father's chest X-ray which shows black marks on it. What exactly could these be, and is there any way to get rid of them? The report mentions prominent broncho-vascular markings in both lung fields. Do you think practicing pranayama or meditation might help improve his condition?
