I'm a bit concerned because the patient who's on TB medication seems to have an issue. Every time they eat an apple, their cough gets worse. Could you suggest alternative foods that might not trigger coughing like apples do?

I'm a bit concerned because I had some red in my sputum about 4 years ago, but I didn't feel any chest pain at the time. It's been normal since, but should I still be worried about that past incident?

I'm a bit worried about my lung health and I'm wondering if there's a way to check if my lungs are healthy at home without using any machines or equipment. Also, is it normal or safe for someone to hold their breath for a minute?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm getting this wheezing sound when I breathe in, and my pulmonologist had me do a PFT and FENO test. The FENO test results show 58, which is apparently severe, but I'm not an asthma patient. The PFT shows 72. Should I be worried about how serious this is? Do I need to take any specific precautions? I'm currently using Symbicort 320 twice a day.
