I'm finding myself taking really deep breaths more often, and it feels like I'm putting in extra effort just to breathe sometimes. Is this something that's normal, or do you think I should get it checked out with some tests?

View allI'm really worried about my dad; hes been in the ICU for 12 days now with this new type of pneumonia the doctors mentioned. There's still no improvement in his condition, and hes on a ventilator to support his breathing. It all started with a cough and a fever, so we thought it was swine flu and took him to the hospital, but the swine flu test was negative, and his heart seems fine. But hes still struggling to breathe normally. They said something about fluid in his oxygen pathways or possibly ARDS. Im really confused and unsure of what to do next, and I could send you his medical reports and prescriptions if that helps. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

So, whenever I drink a glass of water, I end up having trouble breathing and feel like my chest is really full. Is that something I should be worried about or is it normal?

My pneumonectomy stump has a 6mm opening that hasn't closed even after keeping an ICD for two weeks to drain the cavity. The cavity level has reduced, but the stump opening stays the same size as before. I'm looking for treatment options other than surgery what can be done to help this heal properly?
For the 6mm opening at the pneumonectomy stump, further interventions like vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy or prolonged drainage may be needed. Non-surgical options depend on the type of cavity and healing status. Consider consulting a thoracic surgeon.
