I'm really concerned about my condition. I've been dealing with COPD for 12 years now, and it gets especially bad during the monsoon season. I have allergies to dust, pollen, aerosol, rain, and even some dry fruits. It's really frustrating and I'm desperate to find a permanent solution to get rid of this asthma. Could you recommend anything that might help?

I'm really worried because my recent CT scan and X-ray showed I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lung. There's also something about my lower bowel that's concerning. Could this be why I've been having breathing issues or stomach discomfort? What could these findings mean for my health and are there any specific treatments you would recommend?

kindly take medications for broncheictasis

I'm really worried about my 63-year-old mom. She has COPD bronchitis and has been on medication for a while now, like using a nebulizer and inhalers. We just got her X-ray done, and it said there are fibrotic changes in RV2, but everything else is normal. At home, she's on oxygen all the time, and her levels on the oximeter show between 92 to 98 when she's using it. But as soon as we take off the oxygen, it drops to 60 or 70. Her COVID test came back negative, but I don't understand why her blood oxygen levels aren't improving. Could you please help us understand what's happening and what we should do next?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with shortness of breath, chest pain, sinus infections, and fatigue for the last four months. I've seen three doctors, but nothing seems to be working for me. I've tried medications like doxycycline, azithromycin, montelukast, deflazacort, trystep D, gudacef antibiotics, bronchodilators, and fluticasone nasal spray, but the allergy is just getting worse. My IgE levels have jumped from 250 in June to 1100 in September, and one of my nostrils is always blocked due to the sinus issue. I'm constantly tired and at random times my chest hurts. My X-ray, blood test, and ferritin levels are all normal, but nobody has done a PFT because of COVID. Why is this happening and what should I do next?

avoid allergens , drink warm water, steam inhale 5 times a day, stop junk , control eating habits and consult nearby pulmonologist
