Ive been having this weird shortness of breath lately, and its causing me to yawn a lot. I do feel a bit better after yawning, but its been going on for a really long time. I think its related to my allergies, probably from dust and pollution. Any advice on what I can do to get some relief?

I'm really worried about my dad because he's dealing with pulmonary fibrosis and is on fibrodone tablets, six a day. Lately, he's been having some rough side effectslike bad headaches, feeling like he might vomit, and he's just not hungry at all. Plus, he's on oxygen for about 15 to 16 hours every day. I checked online and saw that these might be side effects from the meds. Is it okay if he takes a break from these tablets until he feels a bit better? Are there other options out there instead of this medication? What could happen if he stops taking it for some time?

Continue same treatment,Also continue seroflo inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.

I'm a bit worried about my lung health and I'm wondering if there's a way to check if my lungs are healthy at home without using any machines or equipment. Also, is it normal or safe for someone to hold their breath for a minute?

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent HRCT thorax report. It mentioned that there are a few subcentimetric lymph nodes in the pre-tracheal and pre-carinal regions, but everything else seems normal. I've been having breathing issues, though my PFT report came back completely normal. It turns out the breathing problem is caused by an arytenoid covering half of my vocal cord. I just need to know, are these subcentimetric lymph nodes something to worry about, or are they considered normal?

not a cause for concern
