I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with shortness of breath lately and I can't figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what steps we should take next?

I'm really anxious about my mom's recent chest pain. The doctor suggested a CT scan, and the report mentions something about alveolo fibrotic opacity in her left upper lobe and the superior segment of her right lower lobe. It also noted no pleural effusion thickening. Could you explain what all this means? I'm really worried about her.

Probable differential diagnosis include sarcoidosis,Silicosis,Langerhans cell histiocytosis,and pneumoconioses.etc , pulmonologist opinion is advised for further management.

I've been dealing with asthma for a couple of years now, and I've been on telekast, Acebrophylline, and montelukast for about a year. Lately, Ive been experiencing this burning sensation in my chest and sometimes I feel anxious or confused, and I've been having some really vivid bad dreams. I'm starting to think it might be the montelukast causing these issues. Are there other medications I could try for my allergies?

I've been feeling short of breath for quite a while now, and honestly, it's starting to worry me. I had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both came back normal, but I'm still having trouble catching my breath. And now there's this chest pain whenever I try to move around. I'm just not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .
