I'm feeling this deep and incomplete breathing at random times during the day, and then I get shortness of breath when exercising. A few months back, I was even coughing up blood for about 34 days, and had something similar happen a year ago. On top of that, I'm having these gastro issues like thick and sticky mucus in my stool every 10 to 20 days. I've lost a bunch of weight, dropping to 79 kg over the past 3 years, and I feel like my growth has stopped. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?

View allI'm really worried about my father's CO2 level, which is at 85 in his blood. He's currently in the ICU at IGIMS Patna. Can anyone advise on how we might be able to lower it? Is it possible to reduce his CO2 level while he's there?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

What is meant by pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities? I got my CT scan report, and it mentions two pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities. One is about 44.7mm by 18.3mm in the posterior lateral basal segment and another 55.5mm by 26mm in the posterior and medial basal segment of the right lower lobe. Theres also a smaller one, about 12.5mm by 3.9mm in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. The report says there's no calcification or lucent areas in the masses, and no hilar lymphadenopathy or pleural effusion, thickening, or calcification. Could you help me understand what all this means?
there might be fibrosis at that point of lung ,that refers to opacities

I'm wondering if it's okay to take AB Phylline SR tablets instead of the AB Phylline N tablets that my doctor recommended for my continuous and excessive mucus issue. I can't seem to find the N tablets in my area, just the SR ones. Could you let me know if it's alright to make this switch?
It's best to follow your doctor's prescription, as there may be specific reasons for recommending AB Phylline N. However, if AB Phylline SR is the only option available, I would advise consulting your doctor or pharmacist before switching to ensure it's suitable for your condition.
