Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Research says adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), those who ate fish, grapefruit, bananas and cheese tended to have better lung function and fewer symptoms than their counterparts who did not eat those foods.

View allI've been smoking for almost 15 years but quit recently because I've been dealing with frequent coughs and colds. I'm worried about what damage smoking might have done to my lungs. Are there specific tests I should get done to check on the health of my lungs? Could you also tell me if there's a way to help them recover from the damage? And I'm curious, does a chest X-ray actually show the damage clearly?
Ecg ,spirometry,lung function tests (PFT)and x-ray chest is advised to the patient. Smoking cessation and aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.

I'm really confused and a bit worried. My chest X-ray is normal, but I'm still coughing up dark red blood. Sometimes it's less, and the blood is mixed with a yellowish color. I haven't had any chest pain or heart issues before. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
Congratulations on this exciting possibility! Home pregnancy tests (HPTs) like Prega News are reliable and convenient. HPTs detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. If the result is: - Positive: Confirm with a healthcare provider. - Negative: Wait a few days and retest if still experiencing symptoms. Lab tests (urine or blood) offer higher sensitivity, but HPTs are a great first step.
