Question

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with a sort of suffocation and this weird tingling in my hands and feet for about a month. I did a pulmonary function test, and it came out normal. I'm wondering if it would be okay to use an inhaler to help with these symptoms?

Question

My husband recently had a lung x-ray as part of his annual checkup, and there are a few things that showed up. I'm a bit concerned because the report mentions broncho vascular markings and mild tenting on the hemidiaphragm. A while back, like 17 years ago, he had a pneumothorax and needed surgery to fix it with a thoracotomy. He's not having any breathing issues or other symptoms now, but should we be worried about these x-ray results? Do you think its necessary for us to see a pulmonologist? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

Question

I'm living in a cold climate, and for the past couple of years, as winter approaches, I've noticed I have this ongoing breathing problem along with a cough that produces phlegm. It seems to linger all winter long. I've tried using some anti-cough syrups, but they haven't really helped much. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

Question

I'm really concerned about endobronchial tuberculosis. Is it something that can be cured? Also, how long do I need to be on TB medication for this?
