I've been trying to wrap my head around the possibility of having asthma. I'm 30 and just got some tests done - like the x-ray and CT pulmonary angiogram - and they both came back normal. I also did a Spirometry test, and my FVC and FeV1 values were above 110, which should be a good sign, right? The doc mentioned I have a mild wheezing sound now and then, but not always. I even did a six-minute walking test with jogging, and my spo2 levels before and after were 99 and 98. I usually climb four floors, do brisk walking, jogging, and some skipping exercises without feeling breathless, although sometimes I think I might get breathless, but it never really happens. Should I be worried about asthma, or could it be something else?

View allI've been dealing with this breathing issue for a while now. I've seen several doctors and had X-rays and blood tests over the last 4 years, and thankfully, they're saying I don't have asthma. One doctor mentioned I have some symptoms of bronchitis, but still, it's not that. For the past year, I've been trying homeopathic medicines, but in the last 6 months, there's been no real improvement. Actually, since yesterday, breathing has become a struggle again, and it all started after I drank some very cold sugarcane juice the afternoon of the day before yesterday. There's also intense pain right in the middle of my chest. My parents are really worried, and it's stressful for all of us. Can you suggest a specialist in Mumbai who might be able to help?

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for quite a while now. Whenever I go to bed and try to fall asleep, my throat starts itching and I begin coughing. It's definitely a dry cough. What's weird is that as soon as I stop trying to sleep, the coughing just goes away. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Expectations After Medication Insertion* 1. *Bleeding*: You can expect bleeding to start within 2-7 days after the medication insertion. However, this timeframe may vary. 2. *Expulsion of Retained Products*: The retained products (measuring 9cc) may be expelled during the first menstrual cycle, but it's not guaranteed. *Factors Influencing Expulsion* 1. *Size of Retained Products*: The size of the retained products (9cc) is relatively small, which increases the likelihood of natural expulsion. 2. *Effectiveness of Medication*: The medication inserted by your doctor is designed to help expel the retained products. Its effectiveness may influence the timing and success of expulsion. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Track Your Symptoms*: Keep a record of your bleeding, cramping, and any other symptoms. 2. *Follow-up Appointment*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the progress and determine if further intervention is needed.

I'm really concerned about my asthma. I've had it for 30 years, but in the last two years, I've been experiencing this wheezing issue repeatedly. Every time I use the nebuliser or steroids, I feel better, but once I stop taking the steroids, the problem just comes back again. What should I do about this?
