I'm having trouble breathing fully, like I can't completely expand my lungs or part of them isn't getting enough oxygen. I find myself waiting to yawn to feel like Im finally getting enough air. This happened last year too, and the doctor said it was stress and it went away in two weeks without any meds. This time I saw an MD pulmonary, and they did tests for thyroid, which came back fine. I'm negative for COVID, and all my lipid and liver function tests are okay. But now I'm not sure who to go to next, and the difficulty in breathing just seems to be getting worse. What could this be?

I'm wondering if it's alright for me to use Asthalin respules before playing sports. I have asthma and my breathing gets really heavy if I don't use it. But when I do, I can play for the full duration. Would using it beforehand be okay?

Yes, its okay to use Asthalin respules before playing sports if your doctor has advised it. It helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe and preventing early fatigue. Just ensure you follow your doctors instructions on dosage and timing.

My mom's been dealing with some worrisome health issues lately. She has this cold cough and experiences shortness of breath, especially at night. We found out about some lower fibrotic changes in her left lung, but the HRCT and chest X-ray both came out normal. She's already been given some strong antibiotics, but there hasn't been any noticeable improvement. We're located in Ahmedabad and I'm really unsure about what to do next. Can you provide some guidance or suggestions on how to proceed?

I'm sorry to hear about your mom's struggles. Fibrotic changes can sometimes cause chronic symptoms despite normal imaging. Consider consulting a pulmonologist for further evaluation, possibly for inhalers or anti-inflammatory treatments, and to rule out other causes like asthma or GERD. Stay strongshe's lucky to have your care.
