Find somewhere comfortable to sit. If you can, close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose to the count of four, hold the breath to the count of seven and exhale through your mouth to the count of eight.

Question

I'm dealing with Chronic Bronchitis and it's been quite a hassle. I'm looking for some permanent solutions beyond just managing the symptoms. Are there any effective home remedies that could help with Bronchitis in the long run?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results mentioned "minimal fibrosis noted in the upper lobes." What exactly does that mean? Should I be concerned? I'm just trying to understand it better.

Question

I've been experiencing this weird chest congestion and discomfort for about six months now. I went to see a cardiologist and got an echo test done, and they said my heart is fine. There's no pain coming from the heart area either. But this annoying chest pressure just keeps coming and going. It's not interfering with my daily activities, but I have been feeling more tired than usual. Breathing isn't an issue, thankfully. However, today I noticed a sore throat along with the chest congestion. There's no mucus with blood or anything alarming like that, but the discomfort is still there from my throat to my chest. Could you offer some advice on this?
