I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should watch out for after having a CT pulmonary angiogram a month ago? Also, can a pulmonary embolism develop sometime after the procedure? I've been having chest pain around the area under both my armpits, and it's got me a bit worried. Could this be related?

I've just had a spirometry test done, and the results are a bit confusing because there's no interpretation provided in the report. Plus, the reference ranges are different from what I've seen in my previous reports. I'm a bit worried and wondering if my results are normal. Could this mean I have asthma or some kind of obstruction?

I've had this cough for about 45 days now and didn't really think much of it at first. I assumed it was just a regular cough, but today it started hurting on the right side of my chest when I cough. I'm using dry cough syrup at the moment, but should I be taking any other precautions? How can I avoid this chest pain when I cough?

yes,visit your foe appropriate management

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially in the mornings when I wake up. It's been going on for almost 2 months now. I've also been dealing with flu-like symptoms for about 20 days and my nose is blocked quite often, even though I've been taking Montek LC. It doesn't seem to be helping much. There's also a weird sensation in my chest like I need to cough, but it just doesn't happen. I don't have a sore throat or fever, so I'm a bit confused. By the way, I've had gastric issues for a long time. What would you suggest I do?

take syrup ascoril for 5 days and take tablet monteclc if you are allergic
