My husband recently had a lung x-ray as part of his annual checkup, and there are a few things that showed up. I'm a bit concerned because the report mentions broncho vascular markings and mild tenting on the hemidiaphragm. A while back, like 17 years ago, he had a pneumothorax and needed surgery to fix it with a thoracotomy. He's not having any breathing issues or other symptoms now, but should we be worried about these x-ray results? Do you think its necessary for us to see a pulmonologist? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

View allI'm really worried because for the last couple of months I've been noticing dark blood streaks in my sputum, mostly in the morning or sometimes throughout the day. It's really concerning me, especially since I only see these streaks when I blow my nose and spit. The ENT I visited said my throat is inflamed and gave me a nasal spray and something called drez gargling. Even after seeing a pulmonologist and getting all sorts of tests like x-rays, blood tests, sputum tests, and urine tests, everything came back normal. I was given styptocid tablets and zady 250 mg for a few days, but the issue is still there. I dont even have a cough. What steps should I take next?

I've had asthma since I was a kid and used to take homeopathy for it, which seemed to help. It was pretty bad back then, with inhalers and nebulisers being a part of my daily routine. It eventually went away, thankfully. But now, after 15 years, Im having trouble again. My breathing feels offI have a slight cold and have been wheezing a lot since last night. I really dont want to go back on steroids. I've tried taking steam, but its not doing much. What should I do?
avoid allergens, drink warm water , do breathing exercises
