I've been having pain on the right side of my chest and noticed some bleeding when I cough during morning brushing. There's also shortness of breath when walking. My CT scan showed something about osteochondroma near the mid ribs on the right side, but the report wasn't definitive it had a question mark next to osteochondroma. I'd prefer medication over surgery which type of doctor should I see for this?

See an orthopedic or thoracic surgeon; further imaging may clarify the diagnosis before considering any invasive steps.

I'm 41 and have been dealing with asthma since I was a kid, along with urticaria and GERD. My pulmonologist has me on Montek AB and Formoflo 250mg Asthalin rotohaler, but I recently had an echocardiogram showing mild PAH. They wanted a second opinion, so a senior cardiologist did a 2D echocardiogram and luckily, it came back normal, no PAH. But I still struggle with breathing I need to take deep breaths a lot and find myself yawning frequently. When I'm talking, I often feel short of breath. Plus, the Formoflo inhaler seems to make my heart race and gives me palpitations. Is there any other inhaler that doesn't cause these side effects? What do you recommend?
Patient is advised to continue all the medications.

I'm really worried about my husband because he catches a cold way too easily. It's like every month he's sick, running a fever because of a runny nose and cough, and it also causes him breathing problems. I'm wondering if this means we should see a pulmonologist or maybe another type of specialist. He's shown some minor asthma symptoms as well. What do you think? Could you give some advice on what steps we might take?
