I've been struggling to breathe properly for the past 10 months and I've already had two pulmonary function testsone back in December 2017 and another in March 2018. Could you help me understand what the results from these tests mean? I'm really concerned and just want to know what's going on with my lungs.

I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?

the medication is okay

I've been having trouble breathing recently and went to see the doctor. He asked me to get an X-ray of my chest and face. The report said my lungs are clear, but I have a lung infection and sinusitis. I'm still struggling to breathe. Could this be small cell lung cancer? I have some symptoms, except for weight loss and coughing up blood or phlegm. It's been going on for a month, even though I'm on meds the doctor prescribed. Should I be worried?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .A pulmonologist opinion is also advised to the patient.

I've had this dry cough for a couple of weeks now, and it just seems to hang around. I don't have a cold or anything, but there's this constant feeling of something in my throat, almost like there's phlegm I can't clear. It's like my nose is dripping into my throat, which is super annoying. I had a Blood Picture test done recently, and I noticed the monocyte level is really low. Could that be causing this cough, or are they unrelated? Just trying to figure out what might be going on here.
