I'm really worried about my lungs as I've been a smoker, but I quit. I haven't had breathing issues so far, but I'm concerned they might pop up in the future. I do yoga and breathing exercises regularlycan those help repair my damaged cilia, or should I see a pulmonologist? Are there any pre-treatments available? I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.

View allI'm having trouble with chest congestion every time I catch even a small cold or cough. It gets really tough because it leads to wheezing, and sometimes, taking a deep breath actually causes a bit of pain in my chest. I'm looking for advice on how to tackle this long-term. Can you help me out with this?

Hey, my dad is 65 and he had COVID pneumonia back in April with a pretty high HRCT score of 1225. He was discharged at the end of April and was keeping his SPO2 levels up at 98 without any extra oxygen. But since mid-July, his SPO2 has been hanging around 95 to 96, and it only hits 98 in the morning. Should I be worried that the infection might be coming back? Hes doing pranayama and using that 3-ball lung exercise tool every morning for 40 minutes.

I've been through quite a journey with TB since 2016, dealing with extra pulmonary TB and after a year of treatment and some surgery for fluid drainage, I thought I was in the clear. In 2019, even though I had some lymph node swelling, the tests came back negative, and my doctor said I didn't need further medication. But now, with my fianc being diagnosed with pulmonary TB last December, I'm freaking out a bit. Given my history and the close contact, should I be concerned about getting TB again?
kindly take precautions, your immunity might be weak . you might get infected once again
