My husband has been experiencing episodes of sighing and breathing difficulty. A month ago, it seemed to come and go, but recently it's gotten worse. We finally saw a doctor who said he has bronchitis, even though his ECG, sugar, and most test results were normal, apart from a bit of chest congestion and a high TLC indicating some infection. He's on Augmentin, montair fx, and Pantop D now, plus an inhaler. Im concerned because hes still sighing and Im just wondering if this is normal as he starts treatment. His oxygen saturation is at 97-98. Should I be worried or is there anything else we should be doing to help him get better?

I'm having a really hard time breathing, and my neck on the right side hurts. It's my back and side too, making it impossible to lay down. This has been happening for a while. Can you help me figure out why this is happening or what I should do? I'm 16, and it's just getting worse. I've tried using heat and cold, but nothing's working. Any advice?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with COPD after smoking for 35 years, but he quit cigarettes three years ago. He also had CAD and underwent CABG three years back. He's on medication for his heart, and all his tests are coming back normal now. For COPD, he used to take Fluticasone, Salmeterol, and Tiotropium Bromide but these days, he's just on Seroflo 250 BD. The issue we're having is with nighttime as soon as he lies down to sleep, he starts producing sputum and has to cough it up. He doesn't have problems sitting up, and there's no orthopnea or nocturnal apnea, just sputum, so he's been taking Levocetirizine and Montelukast for that. I'm wondering if we should add back TIOVA? Also, is it okay for him to use Monticope daily? And with his substernal hernia, is it still safe for him to do his breathing exercises by lifting the ball? Would really appreciate some guidance.
