I've been feeling a bit breathless since April 13th. It eased up a bit, but then from April 18th, I started getting out of breath even when I'm just resting. I don't have any chest pains or a constant cough, although my cough sometimes sounds deep, and there's a wheezing sound when I take a deep breath. I haven't had any fever or chills either. It's been over a month now, and this breathlessness just isn't going away. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Can someone explain what it means if my chest X-ray shows prominent bronchovascular markings? I'm not sure which type of doctor I should consult for this.

A 3.7mm gallbladder polyp is relatively small. _Doctor's Recommendation_ 1. _Monitoring_: Your doctor's approach to monitor the polyp's size every 6 months is a reasonable strategy. 2. _No immediate concern_: The small size of the polyp (less than 10mm) suggests a low risk of malignancy. _Possible Reasons for Polyp Presence_ 1. _Cholesterol polyp_: Most gallbladder polyps are benign and composed of cholesterol. 2. _Inflammatory polyp_: Inflammation in the gallbladder can cause polyp formation. 3. _Other factors_: Genetics, obesity, and high cholesterol levels might contribute to polyp development. _Further Investigation_ 1. _Not necessary for now_: Given the small size of the polyp, further investigation might not be warranted at this time. 2. _Consider additional tests if_: You experience symptoms like abdominal pain, jaundice, or fever, or if the polyp grows significantly during follow-up. _Consider a Second Opinion or Further Discussion_ 1. _Ask about polyp characteristics_: Discuss the polyp's characteristics, such as its shape, size, and location, with your doctor. 2. _Understand the follow-up plan_: Clarify the follow-up schedule and criteria for re-evaluation. 3. _Seek a second opinion if unsure_: If you're concerned or unsure about your doctor's approach, consider consulting a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon for a second opinion.

I've been dealing with chronic asthma for about 20 years now, and for the past decade, formonide 200 Novocart has been my go-to medication. Lately, I've been having trouble finding it in stores. Could you recommend an equivalent medicine I could switch to? I'm really concerned about managing my symptoms effectively.
