I've been having trouble breathing for more than two months now, especially when I laugh or talk, and it feels like I'm out of breath easily. I went through an X-ray and a cardiac check, and both seem to be normal, but I'm still not sure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a form of anxiety or stress-related breathing difficulty, especially since both your X-ray and cardiac check are normal. It could also be related to muscle tension in the chest or diaphragm. I recommend consulting a respiratory specialist or considering breathing exercises to help manage this.

View allI'm a 63-year-old woman and I've been dealing with breathing problems for the past ten years. I'm currently using medications like deriphyllin 150, essiflo puff, combimist puff, asthalin inhaler, and otrivin on a daily basis. I've also got a dust mite allergy. Is it alright for me to take all of these every day?

I've got this question about a recent visit to a male doctor for my cough. He began the exam by touching above my left breast with the stethoscope, then moved beneath it, right on the breast, not where the lungs are. He repeated the same steps on my right breast. This kind of threw me off. Is that a standard part of examining a cough? I'm hesitant to accuse anyone without knowing if that was necessary, so I'd appreciate some clarity on this.
Yes that is necessary to examine your lungs in cough ,and for every female that is the way to examine,if you are not comfortable,you can visit Female Physician

I'm just a little concerned after my recent visit to the panel physician. They did an X-ray and found a spot, then mentioned it might be linked to Tuberculosis. So, now I'm scheduled for a sputum test over the next three mornings. But here's the thingI've got none of the typical TB symptoms like coughing, breathing issues, or losing weight. I'm really curiouscan an X-ray actually show definite signs of TB, or is there a chance it's something else?
x ray shows tuberculosis changes in the lungs
