Ive been having a bit of a struggle with breathlessness even when climbing just a couple of floors, which is unusual for me since Im generally healthy and active. Not too long ago, I had a nasty infection and was coughing up a lot of yellow-green phlegm. It went on for nearly a week, and during that time, I found myself gasping for breath like it was asthma, though it didnt turn into a full-blown attack. I used an inhaler to help with the breathing. An Ayurvedic doctor mentioned that I have very shallow breath intake and low lung capacity. Could you provide some advice or suggest ways to improve this?

View allI'm a bit worried because my x-ray results mentioned "minimal fibrosis noted in the upper lobes." What exactly does that mean? Should I be concerned? I'm just trying to understand it better.
Minimal fibrosis in the upper lobes of your lungs means there is a small amount of scarring in that area. This could be due to past inflammation or mild lung injury, but it generally doesn't indicate a serious condition. Its important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if needed.

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm getting pretty concerned. I'm 28 and moved to Bangalore about a year ago. I was diagnosed with Acute Urticaria back in July 2017, and it was manageable with medicine. But then, around May or June this year, I started noticing asthma-like symptoms creeping in, and now theyre happening all the time. The smallest amount of dust sets it off, or if the AC is turned off at work or home. Even laughing, which I used to do a lot, or sneezing, or talking fast triggers an episode. I've had heartburn a lot too and it seems to be linked to the asthma. I use Asthalin to help with the severe episodes. For the last couple of weeks, I've been waking up after only about 3 hours of sleep because I can't breathe well. I'm really worried about my health getting worse, so I'm wondering if there's any way to cure this. Any advice would be really appreciated.
