I'm really concerned because I took a hard fall in the bathroom and slammed my chest on a tap. It's been about 34 days now and the chest pain hasn't gone away. I did a chest X-ray, and I'm worried if there's anything wrong with it. Could there be a chance of pneumothorax? Also, I have to fly tomorrow and I'm not sure if it's safe to fly with this kind of pain. What do you think?

I've been having a hard time breathing for about a week now. Every time I try to lie down, I start coughing a lot and feel like there's something stuck in my lungs, and my cough sounds whooshy. I noticed that if I sleep on an incline, I manage to get some rest. I'm a bit overweight, and my dad used to have sleep apnea, so I'm worried it might be something like that. Can you let me know what might be going on and if there's anything specific I should be doing or checking for?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of asthma or possibly sleep apnea. I recommend you try using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help with your breathing difficulties. You can take 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, similar to what your father used. I suggest you consult with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm an ex-smoker and used to smoke about 10 cigarettes a day for 7 years. It's been 6 months since I quit, but now I'm dealing with acid reflux and have pain in my chest and ribs, plus a cold. My ECG came back normal, but I'm really worried. Do you think this could be lung cancer? Also, how would I go about getting a lung cancer screening in Bangalore?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient. Seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient for breathing difficulty.Also CT Chest is advised to the patient.
