Question

I've been dealing with some allergy problems lately, and when I saw a doctor, they had me do an allergy test and a chest X-ray. They mentioned there might be an infection in my chest. I decided to consult another doctor who requested a Montoux (Mantoux) test, and it came back with a 14mm result. I'm a bit worried about what all this could mean. Could you help me understand these results and the possible implications?

Question

I've been noticing recently that I often feel the need to take long breaths. If I try not to, I get a pressure sensation in my chest. It all seems to happen without me really being aware of it, but it's becoming a regular thing. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm experiencing something a little odd with my breathing. Most of the time, I can breathe normally, but whenever I try to take a really deep breath, it feels a bit difficult to fully inhale. It's not constant, only happens sometimes, but it's got me a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 63 and he's been dealing with asthma for a long time. He's currently using a Formoterol Fumarate and Budesonide Inhaler at 400 mg and taking Bilagra M tablets. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to get the Covishield vaccine with these meds. Can you advise on whether it's okay for him to proceed with the vaccination?
