I'm really worried about someone who's been having breathing and suffocation issues. They've also been dealing with a spine problem for the last five months. A specialist recommended that they rest for six months, but just recently, they've started experiencing more problems. Could you give some advice on what we should do next?

So I've been able to exercise for quite a while without issues, and my peak flow readings are always solid, like around 550-600, and I'm 17 and about 174 cm tall. But lately, I've got this minor cold, and I've noticed something weird. When I breathe normally, I don't hear anything strange, but when I try to exhale really fast and hard, there's this wheezing sound. Is that normal? Could it just be anxiety causing this wheeze? Just trying to get some clarity on what's happening.

you can exercise for 1 hour. anxiety will not cause wheezing

I'm really worried because she just got diagnosed with COPD. Can you take a look at her reports and tell me what stage she's at and how serious it is? Also, I'm really curious about what the treatment process will be like.

I've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
