I'm worried because when I inhale, it feels like my veins get stuck in my ribs in the back and on my chest. The doctor said this should help with my breathing problem, but my hands are still shaking. What could be causing this? Do you have any advice?

I only smoke around 2 cigarettes a day, so I'm really wondering what my chances are of having lung cancer right now. Also, what kind of tests should I think about if I want to check for it? I could really use some guidance here.

Lung cancer is diagnosed with biopsy,bronchoscopy,x--ray chest pa view,USG chest,CT thorax ,PET scan ,complete blood count and tumour markers like CEA-Carcinoembryonic antigen.

My aunt's been dealing with this persistent cough for such a long time, and it just seems to be getting worse. We've tried all sorts of treatments, both allopathy and homeopathy, but nothing's really helping. It's pretty concerning. What should we do? Is there a specific treatment approach we should consider to actually get to the root of this problem?
