My mom has a lung issue, and whenever she eats something hot or cold, she starts bleeding. I'm really worried and confusedis this bleeding related to her lungs, or could it be something else? Do you think a lung transplant might be an option in this situation?

Sometimes when I breathe in, I hear this weird whistling sound. It's mostly when I inhale, rather than when I exhale. Do you think that's something I should be worried about? I don't really have any other symptoms and I'm feeling pretty good overall, but the noise is kind of strange and I'm not sure if it's something that needs urgent attention. Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing that I've been getting this really sticky, gel-like cough from my mouth lately, and I'm kinda worried about what it could mean. Do you think it might have something to do with my lungs? Also, which type of doctor should I see about this?

This can indicate excessive mucus production in your respiratory tract. This problem may be related to your lungs. You can consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management. I recommend using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help with mucus clearance.

My mom was diagnosed with COPD and dilated RARVPA about three months ago. She tested positive for COVID last week but has since recovered. However, her oxygen levels sometimes drop to 80, especially when she's sleeping. I'm really worried about how serious this might be. Can you tell me more about what foods she should avoid and what she should be eating instead?

no it is not serious. But need to take medication for COPD. avoid foods like banana, curd
