My dad's 72 and already has some heart issues. Recently, he's been dealing with fluid retention in his lungs, and even though he's on all the necessary medications and seeing a cardiologist, we're not seeing much improvement. He can't sleep well, isn't eating much, and seems to be getting weaker. We're really worried. Do you think we should consult a pulmonologist to help with his breathing, or is there something else we should be looking into to help him feel better?

Question

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor suggested I get a PFT to see if I have asthma. Lately, I've been having a cough or cold that lasts for about 25 days, even though I'm taking Ebast M almost every day. Is there anything I should do to prepare for the PFT? Should I stop taking Ebast M before the test or is it fine to continue with it?

Question

I'm worried because it feels like I'm not breathing well enough. I have to take a really deep breath every 10 seconds or so, and it's messing with my sleep. This has been going on for about 4 years now. I did see a pulmonologist and had a PFT test done, which came out fine, but I'm still having issues. I've tried different medications, including Deriphyllin, with no success. Any advice on what to do next?

Question

I've been having this weird issue where I feel a cough coming on whenever I take a deep breath. It also tends to act up more when I'm really stressed out. And there's this annoying sensation like something is stuck in my throat. Do you think this is something serious? What could be causing it?
