I'm really struggling with shortness of breath and breathing problems whenever the weather changes. It can get really bad, and I end up needing to use rotacap, foracort, levolin, and sometimes deriphyllin. On top of that, I'm also taking medications like fluconazole 200 and Allegra, plus Thyronorm 50 and Tryptomer 25 mg. I had my gall bladder removed two years ago. Can you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do?

I'm really concerned about my MRI scan results that showed a pleural effusion and SOL on the right side of my chest. I've already been on medication for 12 months, and the doctor mentioned that a scar might appear but said I don't need to take more medication. Should I be worried about this scar, and is it normal to stop medication now?
