I'm having trouble breathing, especially when I eat or after doing a bit of exercise. I also deal with anxiety and panic disordercould that be causing my shortness of breath, or should I be worried about something else? Can you help me figure this out?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with a dry cough for about five days now and she's on Doxofylline tablets and Forcef 500. The thing is, she just can't seem to eat anything because it makes her feel nauseous, and she's getting so weak. Ive heard paneer might be okay to give her, but Im not sure what foods are best right now. Could you help me figure out what she should be eating?

Question

I'm experiencing shortness of breath after playing badminton, and this just began about a month ago. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting tested or seeing a doctor about it?

Question

I'm trying to understand a few things that I'm experiencing right now. My recent chest X-ray showed hyperinflation of the lungs, but my doctor mentioned it might just be because I took a deep breath, saying the X-ray looks normal. The ENT said it could be early signs of asthma. Im on AB Phylline 100mg, Alex Syrup, and Prustalin Antihistamine, which have almost stopped my cough, but I still have phlegm and post-nasal drip, especially when I don't take Prustalin. I have a non-smoker background, no exposure to chemical fumes, but my mom does have asthma, and my IgE level came back at 440 with eosinophils last checked at 10.5. Is this really asthma? Should I be considering inhalers after finishing this current course of medication, and do the X-ray and PFT results seem normal to you?
