I've been dealing with this breathing issue for a while now. I've seen several doctors and had X-rays and blood tests over the last 4 years, and thankfully, they're saying I don't have asthma. One doctor mentioned I have some symptoms of bronchitis, but still, it's not that. For the past year, I've been trying homeopathic medicines, but in the last 6 months, there's been no real improvement. Actually, since yesterday, breathing has become a struggle again, and it all started after I drank some very cold sugarcane juice the afternoon of the day before yesterday. There's also intense pain right in the middle of my chest. My parents are really worried, and it's stressful for all of us. Can you suggest a specialist in Mumbai who might be able to help?

View allI'm worried because my father has tested positive for COVID-19. We did a CT scan, and it shows CORADS5. He's on medication and in home isolation right now. The thing is, he only has a cough. Does this mean it's a mild symptom, or should I be more concerned? What steps should we be taking?

I'm currently pregnant and dealing with COPD. I've been advised to use Foracort 400 Rotacaps twice a day throughout my pregnancy, but I'm worried about whether it's safe for the baby. Could you give me some guidance on this?

I've been feeling a bit of breath shortness after breakfast and while climbing stairs, and my breathing isn't as smooth as it used to be. I had a history of smoking for 9 years, then switched to vaping e-cigarettes for 2 years. I've quit all nicotine and smoking products for the past two weeks. Could you tell me what tests I should consider to understand the impact of my past smoking and vaping on my health?
