I'm 28 years old and have been having some trouble with shortness of breath. I feel like I have to consciously force myself to breathe. I tried using a nebulizer, but it didn't really help. Could you suggest what else I might try or what might be going on?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's dealing with ILD and I've noticed lately that he keeps mentioning a constant feeling of nausea. He doesn't want to eat and feels like throwing up just by looking at food. Could this be because of the fibrodone tablets he's taking, like six a day? Would love some insights on this.

yes it is a side-effect of tablet fibrodone

I'm dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis and recently did a reverse spirometry test. My FEV1FVC came out to be 81 and my FEV1 was 71.

it is normal value , donot worry

I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks, and my throat is super itchy, especially at night. It kicked off with a fever, but that's gone now. Still, my throat feels the same. Any ideas on what might be going on or what I should do next?

persistent cough and itchy throat for over two weeks, especially after a fever, may indicate an underlying condition such as a lingering respiratory infection, allergies, acid reflux, or postnasal drip; a proper evaluation and diagnostic tests (e.g., throat swab, chest X-ray) can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
