I'm really concerned about my 10-year-old son. He's really into skating and does it quite well, but he runs out of breath quickly and gets tired faster than his peers. He also seems to have breathing problems after running. What can we do to help improve his stamina and make sure he's not struggling with his breathing?

I recently quit smoking and I'm really concerned about the tar that's built up in my lungs. I'm hoping to clean them out and go through some kind of lung detox. Can you tell me how I can do this effectively?

I'm wondering why I've been needing to take deep breaths every 5 to 10 minutes over the past 5 days. My x-ray and ECG came back normal, so I'm really puzzled. It's starting to affect my ability to focus at work, though I don't seem to have any issues at night. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to stop this?

Ecg and cardiac markers ,chest x-ray is advised to the patiet.

I've been fine during the day, but once night hits, I start coughing, and the mucus is white. Plus, there's this whistling sound when I'm breathing. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
