View allI've been having breathing problems for the past couple of years. My doctor said it's bronchitis, but I'm really worried because when I try to inhale, sometimes it feels like the air just doesn't reach my lungs. I have to try four or five times to get a full breath, and lately, I've been feeling a mild chest pain along with a cough and this uncomfortable pressure in my chest that makes me anxious. It even makes my body feel cold. Could you please tell me what's going on and what kind of treatment I should look into?

I'm pretty worried right now; I've been a smoker for the past 10 years but quit just last month. Since then, I've had a nosebleed once, but it stopped. However, about three weeks ago, I started experiencing heaviness and some gastric feelings in my heart, along with heart palpitations. The thing that's really freaking me out is seeing blood in my sputum in the mornings when I clean my throat. At first, it was like actual blood drops, but now it's just tiny, hair-like streaks. I'm also frequently getting that blood taste in my throat, and I've been burping a lot after eating or drinking. Lately, there are some black strains in my spit. I went through some tests like a chest X-ray, sputum AFB for TB, ECG, echo, and troponin test, and they were all normal. The arterial blood gases test and CBC, ESR, and ECG reports are attached. What could be going on with me?
You may be experiencing some complications related to your history of smoking. The presence of blood in your sputum, especially with a history of smoking, raises concerns for potential lung issues. Since your TB evaluation and other tests have come back normal, it is important to address the possibility of lung irritation or inflammation. Additionally, to help with the gastric symptoms and burping, you can take Esomeprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast. It is also important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further investigations such as a CT scan of the chest may be necessary to rule out any underlying issues.

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?
Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.
