I'm really worried about my aunt - she's been having trouble breathing, and her reports show she has Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Weve seen a pulmonologist, but they haven't been able to find a solution. We've been following a cardiologist's advice and started her on Bosentas 62.5mg for the past six months, but it seems like her condition is getting worse. Another cardiologist warned us that Bosentas could be harmful to her liver, but we didnt stop it. Now, she can't even walk from her bedroom to the living room without struggling. I'm looking for advice on whether there's any treatment or medication from Homeopathy, Allopathic, or Ayurveda that might help her. Can you offer any guidance?

View allI've been dealing with this chronic cough for 12 years now, and it's really frustrating, especially because it lasts for about 3 to 4 months each year and gets pretty severe. I constantly get this diagnosis of bronchitis, CVA, or allergies, but all my test results are clear. The usual meds dont seem to do the trick, and I usually end up on steroids. One time, a doctor suggested Gabapentin NT 400 at night, but it didnt help at all. Interestingly, Ive noticed my cough eases a bit if I'm getting a head massage or if Im distracted, and it completely stops when I'm asleep. I read somewhere that Gabapentin might be good for chronic cough, so I started taking 300 mg three times a day, and it seems like there's about 40-50% relief. Do you think its okay to bump it up to 600 mg three times a day? I've read studies that say up to 1800 mg is well tolerated and helps with chronic cough, but I'd love a second opinion. What would you suggest?
don't increase much dose

I've been having this pain at the edge of my left chest whenever I take a deep breath. It's been going on for five days and doesn't seem to be getting any better. Could you tell me what might be causing this? I'm a bit worried because my normal breaths don't hurt, only the deep ones do. Any advice on what I should do next?

I'm curious if having normal oxygen levels in the blood automatically means that the oxygen levels in the lungs are also okay. Like, if the blood's oxygen rate is good, should I assume everything's fine with the lungs too, or is that not always the case?
Yes.
