I've been dealing with some respiratory issues lately. A few months back, I couldn't get rid of a cough and found out I developed allergies to house dust mites. This progressed into allergic asthma, and the doctor put me on Seretide 250 for a month, which really helped. After finishing it, my asthma got better, but I started waking up with a morning cough. I recently caught the flu, which turned into acute bronchitis. I'm feeling better now after taking antibiotics. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to start another month of Seretide 250. Do you think it's okay?

View allI've been really worried because my mom used to feed pigeons on her balcony every day, and they pooped there for a whole year. We stopped doing it but now I'm concerned. Could this be why she has lung nodules now? Last year her CT scan only showed fibrosis, but this year there are lung nodules, and the largest is 9mm. Could feeding birds have caused this? I'm really looking for some advice here.

I've been having this really odd experience where my oxygen levels are consistently around 98 to 100, and my blood pressure is at 12074, which seems normal. But at night, I often feel like I'm not getting enough air or like I can't breathe, even though the oximeter says I'm at 99 to 100. It'll wake me up, and it makes sleeping kind of an anxiety-riddled task because I'm worried about not being able to breathe even when I'm actually doing it. I talked to a doctor about it, and they had me do a chest x-ray and liver function test, which came back alright, and gave me some meds. Still, when I try to sleep, there's this constant fear of being short of breath, and, for like 10 to 15 seconds, I actually do feel breathless. Any advice on what might be going on?
since your saturation is normal, it might be due to anxiety . try reducing your stress

I've been dealing with a lot of extra sputum all day for about six months now, and every now and then I find myself needing to take deep breaths. After exercising, I get this itchy feeling in my throat like something's stuck there. There's no fever, chest pain, coughing, or weight loss, but my nose is always congested and I find myself taking deep breaths throughout the day. It seems to calm down at night though. I'm wondering what's going on.
Ecg,x-ray chest pa view,sputum for AFB and microscopy and spirometry is advised to the patient.
