I've been dealing with shortness of breath for the past year, and it's getting worse lately. It's gotten to the point where I'm out of breath just walking around my house. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be worried about?

View allI'm trying to figure out if I might have asthma. In the mornings, my peak flow is around 450, but it jumps to 600 after I take two puffs of duolin. The chest X-ray and CT scan look normal, but the PFT results show early small airway obstruction with a PEF of 2575 or PEFR pred at 70. They also indicated mild obstruction with an FEV1FVC of 95 and FVC pred at 80. What does all this mean? I'm really not sure and could use some guidance.
Spirometry and pulmonary function tests are advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my recent chest x-ray results. It showed increased bronchovascular markings in the right basal region, and I'm not sure what that means. The report also mentioned the cardiac shadow appears normal but the hilar shadows are prominent, and the right cardiophrenic angle is hazy. The bony cage is normal and the trachea is central, but what's concerning me is the right basal bronchovascular prominence. Could you explain what all this might mean for my health? I'm not really familiar with these terms and would appreciate some clarity.

I'm noticing that my heart rate has been climbing up to 95 over the past 23 days. Could my allergic bronchitis be playing a part in this? I'm really concerned and would love some insight on what might be causing this.
Increasing heart rate can be caused by various reasons, especially in individuals with allergic bronchitis. The combination of allergic bronchitis and an elevated heart rate could be due to increased inflammation and stress on the body. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking **Montelukast** (Singulair) 10mg once daily for allergic bronchitis. Additionally, you can take **Propranolol** (Inderal) 10-20mg as needed to help lower your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
