I've been diagnosed with a bulla in my right lung and have had a persistent cough for 20 days along with mild breathing issues. Should this be treated with surgery or medication, and what would the cost look like for either option?

I'm really concerned about my health right now. I've noticed that my SGPT and SGOT levels are higher than normal. Also, I snore really loudly and have been told that I sometimes stop breathing in my sleep. How can I manage these issues and keep them under control?

High SGPT and SGOT levels, combined with loud snoring and breathing pauses, suggest potential liver issues and sleep apnea. It's important to address liver health through a balanced diet, hydration, and limiting alcohol, while seeking treatment for sleep apnea through lifestyle changes, weight management, and possibly using a CPAP machine. Please consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation and personalized plan.

I've been feeling really out of breath no matter what I do, whether I'm just getting up, sitting down, moving around, or doing any kind of work. It's really concerning me. What could be causing this breathlessness, and should I be worried?

You may be experiencing symptoms of asthma. I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help relieve your breathlessness. The usual dosage for Ventolin inhaler is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to use it as directed by your healthcare provider.
