I've been dealing with acidity for a couple of years now, and lately, I've been noticing mucus in my throat and sometimes even shortness of breath. When I try to take a deep breath, I get dizzy and feel like my head is spinning. Could this be a sign of something serious with my lungs? I'm really worried about it. What should I do?

I'm a bit concerned about something. Last year, I had Covid-related pneumonia and since then, I've been feeling fine with no breathing problems, but there's something odd going on. Whenever I get a chest X-ray, the results mention that both my hila are congested, even though I don't feel congested at all. I occasionally have a light, dry cough, but nothing major. Do you think I need to worry about this or get some kind of treatment?

until you have symptoms don't do anything

I've been dealing with asthma since I was 20, and my doctor has me using an asthma pump twice a day. I'm really wondering if using the pump and taking medicines can actually completely cure my asthma. Is there hope for getting rid of it entirely, or will I need to manage it this way long-term?

yes it can be cured
