I've been smoking for the past 4 years, but now I've started feeling really lazy and it's causing other issues too. I'm really looking to quit. Could you please give me some advice on how to stop smoking and maybe help with these problems?

View allI'm wondering if it's safe for heart patients who don't have asthma but had bronchitis just once to use inhaled corticosteroids regularly. Could this be harmful over time? I've heard something about it possibly being connected to glaucoma, and it's got me a bit worried. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried about my recent CT report, and I could really use some guidance. It mentions that there's a collapse consolidation in my left lower lobe and some specks of calcification with fibronodular changes. They also found a few confluent nodules and scattered small nodules in both lung fields, plus ground glass opacity in my right lower lobe. The impression notes something about mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mild pleural infusion on the left. Can someone explain what all these terms mean and what I should be concerned about? Is this indicative of a serious condition or something treatable?
take antibiotics,consult pulmonologist
