Question 1

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. After using a bronchodilator inhaler, there was no change in these values. Should I be worried? Especially since my chest X-ray and blood tests turned out normal?

Accepted Answer

it is normal value , donot worry

Question 2

I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole smoker's cough thing. I quit smoking about a month ago, but now I'm dealing with this annoying cough, some wheezing, and it's slightly hard to breathe sometimes. Any idea how long these symptoms will stick around? Are there any home remedies I can try, or do I need to go for medication? I was at 12 cigarettes a day for 12 years, so I'm kind of worried. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

first stop smoking, take treatment

Question 3

I've been having some issues for a while now and I'm hoping you can help me out. Last year, during the first wave of covid, I had a fever and all the symptoms but never actually got tested. I just went to a nearby hospital, took some steroids and tablets, and then recovered. But ever since, for about nine months now, I've been dealing with this constant mucus coming from my lungs and throat through my mouth, and there's this stuck feeling and congestion in my chest. I've seen a lot of doctors and gone through all sorts of tests like blood, urine, X-Ray, ECG, and even a hologram scan, but they all say everything is fine. I'm still really struggling with these issues. Any ideas what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

if tests are normal need not worry, start taking some cough syrup ,drink hot water
