My breathing seems to get really heavy at night, and I've been using Salbair as an inhaler to help. It sometimes results in cough with these thread-like formations. Is it okay to keep using Salbair this way?

It sounds like you're experiencing breathing difficulties at night, and using Salbair (a salbutamol inhaler) can help relieve symptoms of wheezing or shortness of breath. However, if youre noticing persistent symptoms or coughing, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate your condition, as this could be related to asthma, allergies, or another respiratory issue.

I've been experiencing this sharp chest pain on the right side whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for like three days now. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Could it be something serious, and should I be concerned? What do you think might be going on?

I'm feeling really anxious about my dad's CT lung scan results. The report mentioned "subtle areas post-inflammatoryinfectious fibrosis" and "patchy air trapping in parenchyma bilaterally," plus there's a "small paraseptal bulla" in his left upper lobe. He's a smoker, so I'm really concerned about what this all means for his health. Could you help me understand these findings?

I've been dealing with this issue where every morning I cough up thick, dark phlegm and it's such a struggle. I've noticed it seems to be coming from behind my uvula. This has been going on for about eight months now and I'm not taking any medication. Should I be worried or is there something I can do?

I dont think you have any issue or you need any treatment.relax.. you can gargle with saline water at the most. If you dont have persistent cough which stays whole day or any fever sneezingcold.. nothing to be done
