It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of asthma or possibly sleep apnea. I recommend you try using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help with your breathing difficulties. You can take 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, similar to what your father used. I suggest you consult with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Minimal fibrosis in the upper lobes of your lungs means there is a small amount of scarring in that area. This could be due to past inflammation or mild lung injury, but it generally doesn't indicate a serious condition. Its important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if needed.
