I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It showed a soft tissue attenuation lesion and several lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm. I had a bronchoscopy and the biopsy results came back normal. Should I still consider getting a PET scan, or is it alright to just let it be? I'm not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate your insight.

View allI've been dealing with asthma since I was a kid and used to take Aerocort Rotacap. But a bit ago, my doctor switched me to Formoflo 250 and it's been working well. I'm 22 now, but starting from 2016, I just can't seem to stay healthy. I'm always getting sick, and each time I go to the hospital, the docs keep giving me antibiotics. I'm worried and not sure what my next step should be. Any advice?

I'm working a night shift from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and I've been having this issue where my breathing stops while I'm asleep. When I wake up in the morning, I end up vomiting, and there's also this white spit. It's honestly quite worrying, and I could really use some advice on what's going on here. Any insights would be appreciated.
