I'm experiencing breathlessness that started about a month ago. I've had numerous tests done like thyroid tests, chest exams, stress tests, and echo TMT, but everything seems to be coming back normal. What could possibly be causing this issue?

I'm trying to understand the results of my CT scan. It mentions a "small calcified nodular opacity" in the right middle lobe, which apparently measures 3.7 mm and might be a healed granulomatous lesion. There are also "few subcentimeter sized noncalcified lymph nodes," with the largest one being 9.1 mm in the AP window region. Could you explain what this means and what steps I should take next? I'm a bit worried about these findings.

you have some fibrosis , do regular breathing exercises

I've been coughing up black stuff for the past 56 days without a break and I'm really worried about it. I'm not sure what's going on or what I should be doing. Could you please give me some advice?

Coughing up black phlegm can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues such as inhaling pollutants, smoking, or even a lung infection. It is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can try taking an over-the-counter cough syrup

I've been using Budamate 400 for my whooping cough for about six days now, but my doctor never mentioned anything about gargling after using it. Lately, I'm experiencing a dry mouth and my throat feels kind of suffocated. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

it resolves on its own
