I'm really worried about my dad. He's dealing with severe post-covid infections and is currently in Apollo Hospital. I'm considering moving him to another place for better care. Could you suggest the best hospital for his situation?

I've been having these episodes of shortness of breath since 2008. It first happened when I was exercising, and I just couldn't catch my breath out of nowhere. Since then, these episodes come and go, lasting for a few days before disappearing on their own. I'm a smoker, and when I got tested, the doctor said I've got mild asthma, but I'm not so sure about that diagnosis since I dont really have other asthma symptoms like wheezing. Does this sound like asthma to you, or could it be something else?

stop smoking and do chest x ray

My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?

need to check report and do analysis to confirm

I'm a bit stressed out because I've been managing my bronchial asthma for 20 years using a regular puff of Forair 250 mg from Novacart, and it's worked really well for me. But I just found out they've stopped making it, and I'm starting to feel the symptoms coming back. Do you know of any alternatives I can try?
