I'm really concerned about my dad who has bronchial asthma. He's on tablets and uses a respiratory spray. We're thinking about getting a dog and I'm worried if that'll affect him in any way. His condition isn't too severe and he rarely experiences heavy breathing, but his PFT test interpretation showed severe obstruction. Right now, he's using Formoflo Inhaler. Could having a dog make his condition worse?

View allI'm feeling this weird vibration in my right lower lung when I breathe, mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep. There's no pain, just this funny sensation. But sometimes if I take a deep breath or move a certain way, I get a sharp, needle-like pain. It's growing concerning, and I'm wondering what's going on. Can you shed some light on this?
The vibration and occasional sharp pain you feel in your lower lung could be due to muscle strain, mild inflammation in the pleura (lining of the lungs), or even trapped air in small airways. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor for a thorough check-up to rule out any lung or musculoskeletal issues.

I'm really confused about my situation. All my tests like X-ray, PFT, and ECG came back normal, and my oxygen levels are at 99%, but I'm still having trouble breathing and feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen. It's really worrying. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
it might be due to anxiety issues

What can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?
Prominent bronchovascular markings sugggestive of infection,asthma,brochitis,emphysema,cardiac failure and copd etc .A pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
