I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm really worried about my dad who's 86 and has chronic bronchitis. Right now, he's having some trouble breathing because there's fluid building up in his lungs. Can you suggest any good clinics where we can go to have this fluid drained? I'm just trying to find the best way to help him out.

I've been having this coughing issue for a few months now, and I noticed that whenever I take Montair LC, the cough stops but only for two days. Then it comes back, and I find myself needing to take the medicine again for some temporary relief. I'm getting a bit concerned and wondering why this is happening. Is it normal for the relief to be so short-lived, or should I be thinking about seeing a doctor for a more permanent solution?

That could be due to allergy consume warm foods and identify the triggering factor and avoid it

I'm feeling a bit concerned because all my test results are fine, except for my X-ray, which shows something off. The bottom three ribs on one side aren't visible, and there's a thin layer around my lung. I'm wondering, can this layer be treated or removed with medication? I also feel some discomfort when I take a deep breath. Any advice on what might be going on?

what kind of layer is it, water or air . consult a pulmonologist
