I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

View allI've been having trouble taking a deep breath without yawning for the last couple of months. It feels like I'm just not getting enough air, almost like I'm hungry for it. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called air hunger, which can be caused by various underlying medical issues. One common cause is anxiety or stress, but it can also be due to respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or even heart conditions. To address your symptoms, it is important to first consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try using an inhaler like Albuterol (Ventolin) for possible asthma symptoms. The usual dosage for adults is 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.

I'm having some trouble with my breathing and was wondering if it's okay to use a Duolin inhaler. Are there any home remedies you could suggest for a slight breathing issue?
Duolin inhaler is typically prescribed for conditions like asthma or COPD, and should only be used under a doctor's guidance. For mild breathing problems, you can try inhaling steam, staying hydrated, and using a humidifier. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm dealing with this constant tightness in my chest, and I've got some really stressful breathing. Sometimes I even get this sharp, localized pain, but it's weird because it doesn't always hit the same spot. It's been over a year now. The pain comes and goes, but the tightness and breathing issues just aren't letting up. I smoke a lot, and I know that's probably a big part of the problem. But until I figure out how to quit, do you have any medical advice that might help?
