I'm really having trouble breathing easily, even though I don't have asthma. It's like there's this hard mucus or phlegm stuck in my chest or lungs that's blocking the air. And every time I breathe, I make this whistling sound. Could you suggest some medicine for this?

I recently had a CT scan, and the results mentioned something about pleural tags. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if this is something serious. Should I be looking into more tests or follow-up investigations? Would love to get some advice on what to do next.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

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?

stay away from things he is allergy to
