I'm a 39-year-old homemaker, and I've been feeling really congested in my chest lately. It feels heavy, and I'm also dealing with a dry cough. My weight is about 58 kg. What kind of treatment or medicine would you suggest for these symptoms? I'm starting to get a bit worried, and I just want to feel better.

View allI'm really worried about pulmonary embolism because I read that 80% of cases are only diagnosed during an autopsy. It's kind of freaking me out to think about how often this might go undetected. What are the scenarios where dead space ventilation is observed, and are there any conditions where it's not usually present? I'm trying to understand more about how this works and what signs I should look out for.

My husband has had this really stubborn dry cough for over a year now, and it seems worst in the early morning, especially when he's using the washroom. I'm really curious what's causing this and if there's something specific we should be doing or looking into? It's been going on for so long, and I'm a bit worried.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about six months now. Initially, it was just a cough, but recently I've noticed some blood when I cough, though it's only happened once or twice. I went to NIMS and they did an X-ray and endoscopy, but didn't find anything and they prescribed me Reswas and Trenxa syrup. Unfortunately, the cough hasn't improved and it tends to get worse at night. I'm feeling okay otherwise, but this nighttime cough is really starting to bother me. Could you suggest where I should go next or what kind of specialist I should consult?
