View allI'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with sleep apnea for like 10 years now, and it causes her to wake up suddenly while sleeping, though it only happens once every month or every couple of months. What kind of treatments are available for this, and how can we help her manage or sort this out?

I'm really concerned about my health. I've been a chain smoker for 30 years but quit 15 years ago. I also have diabetes and hypertension. Back in 2002, I was treated for empyema and TB and had aspirations done. Recently, they did a CT scan and found some bronchiectatic changes and mucus plugging, along with tree-in-bud opacities in the right lower lobe. There's also some linear atelectasis in the lingual area and a few small lymph nodes, but no significant pleural thickening or fluid collection. I've been getting this intermittent dry cough with chest pain and dizziness when I cough. An ultrasound showed a few hyperechogenicities in my right lung. My appetite seems normal and there's no noticeable weight change. Should I be worried about these findings, and what could they possibly mean for my overall health?

I'm having this really bothersome dry cough, and it seems to get worse when I'm under a ceiling fan or in an air-conditioned room. I don't notice it as much when the room temperature is normal though. Also, the mucus I cough up is white. Could it be something to do with excess heat in my body? I'm worried and would love any suggestions on what kind of medicines might help with this.
