I'm really worried about my lung health since I've been smoking. Can a chest X-ray catch lung cancer early, or is a CT scan a better option for detecting any issues? I'm trying to figure out the safest way to keep an eye on things.

View allI've been noticing a strange sensation whenever I take a deep breath, like something's moving in my windpipe. I've checked multiple times and even had an X-ray, which didn't show anythingjust air. I do deal with a lot of gas in my bowels. Could it be gas moving in my windpipe, or is it something else? There's no mucus or phlegm coming out, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing shortness of breath pretty much all the time lately. It's been a few days, and I'm starting to get really worried because it messes up my ability to talk, especially while I'm working. Is it normal to feel like this every day? What could be causing it?
Feeling shortness of breath for several days isnt normal and could indicate anything from anxiety to a respiratory or heart issue. Since its affecting your daily life, I recommend seeing a doctor soon to ensure nothing serious is overlooked. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon!

I'm dealing with bronchial asthma and have been using Foracort 400 daily. I'm worried though, are there any potential problems or side effects from using it every day? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.
Foracort 400 is generally safe for managing bronchial asthma if used as prescribed by your doctor. Long-term use may cause side effects like oral thrush, hoarseness, or mild systemic effects, so regular check-ups are essential. Always rinse your mouth after use to minimize side effects.
