I've had asthma for 15 years, and it's usually pretty mild. I've been using a Foracort inhaler 400 when needed. Lately, I've noticed that sometimes I feel like I'm breathing too fast and have some breathing issues, especially when I close my mouth. This only happens occasionally, and it's almost like I only notice it when I think about it. Also, just today, I started having a little dry cough and a slight irritation in my throat that feels bitter, but it's only when I cough. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is it just a passing thing? Would love your advice on what could be going on.

View allI'm having some troubles with my breathing and I'm feeling really worried. It's like I can't take a deep breath properly and my brain feels like it's not functioning properly. I've been feeling constantly tired and my head feels pressured, almost like the oxygen isn't reaching my brain even though I'm breathing normally. It's a consistent issue that just doesn't go away. Could there be something wrong with how the oxygen is getting to my brain? I'm really looking for some guidance on this. Please help me understand what's going on.

I recently had an x-ray for a job requirement and the results mentioned minimal hazed infiltrates in the lateral aspect of my left upper lung, and fibrotic densities in the left perihilar region. They also asked for an apicolordotic chest x-ray. I had PTB back in 2014 and was cleared after six months of treatment. Does this mean the PTB might have returned or is it something else?
Hello, based on your recent X-ray results, it seems there are some mild changes in your left lung, possibly related to previous pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). The fibrotic densities suggest healed areas from your past illness. The doctor is likely asking for an apicolordotic chest X-ray to get a clearer view of the upper lung for further assessment. It's good to monitor, but these findings don't necessarily indicate active disease.
