Question 1

Ive been experiencing pain when I breathe or sneeze, and I've visited several doctors without finding any relief. I decided to get an ultrasound, and the results showed a pleural effusion of 300-400ml. I'm quite worried and unsure of what steps to take next. Can anyone offer some guidance on what this means and what I should do?

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

Question 3

I'm really worried about my aunt - she's been having trouble breathing, and her reports show she has Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Weve seen a pulmonologist, but they haven't been able to find a solution. We've been following a cardiologist's advice and started her on Bosentas 62.5mg for the past six months, but it seems like her condition is getting worse. Another cardiologist warned us that Bosentas could be harmful to her liver, but we didnt stop it. Now, she can't even walk from her bedroom to the living room without struggling. I'm looking for advice on whether there's any treatment or medication from Homeopathy, Allopathic, or Ayurveda that might help her. Can you offer any guidance?

My mom has bronchial asthma and had surgery to remove air from her lungs, but the X-ray still shows some air trapped inside. She's a bit overweight and tries to walk daily, but gets breathless after just a few steps. What can we do to help her breathe better and manage this?

To improve your mom's breathing and manage her air trapping after surgery, focus on managing her asthma, weight, and breathing exercises, and consider consulting with a pulmonologist
