Is it okay to go for a morning walk if the Air Quality Index is around 400? If it's not safe, what can I do to protect myself? I'm really concerned about the impact on my health.

Question

I've been feeling short of breath lately, even though my pulmonary function tests came back normal. I don't have any chest pain or a cough. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that happens sometimes? What else could be causing this?

Question

Could you help me understand my spirometry results? The report mentions predominant small airways obstruction, but I dont have any symptoms. I attached the report. What does this mean and should I be concerned?

Question

I'm having a really hard time breathing, and my neck on the right side hurts. It's my back and side too, making it impossible to lay down. This has been happening for a while. Can you help me figure out why this is happening or what I should do? I'm 16, and it's just getting worse. I've tried using heat and cold, but nothing's working. Any advice?
