There's a 24-year-old girl dealing with pulmonary embolism, and we're really worried about finding the best specialist for her treatment. She's getting care in Nagpur, but we're looking for something more permanent. Any advice on who to reach out to or what kind of treatments might actually help her long-term?

View allI'm having trouble breathing when I'm lying on my back. It feels like the air gets stuck in my throat. But when I sit up and do some breathing exercises, things seem to get back to normal. This started around 8 to 10 days ago. I've also felt nauseous and had a tendency to vomit and I've been sweating for about 5 to 7 days. I don't have a fever, but I do cough continuously for about an hour or so. It got so bad that I went to the emergency room where they checked my blood pressure, breathing pulse, and body temperature. My BP was 15090. They gave me Razo, Montair, some cough syrup, and Betadine. But even after coming home, I'm still having trouble breathing when lying down and also have chest pain and a feeling of lethargy. Do you think this is serious? Can you suggest any home remedies? And when should I think about visiting the doctor again? The breathing issues are less serious than before, but I still have mild chest pain. Should I wait for about 12 days and see if it gets better before going back to the doctor?
do steam inhalation for 3-5 days atleast 5 times a day. if still symptoms persists visit a doctor

I've been struggling with my asthma for five years now. I've seen a pulmonologist in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, and have been using Odimont AL and an Asthaline inhaler, but nothing seems to work. Can someone suggest any good asthma specialists in Chennai?

I've been noticing that I'm coughing up black mucus in the mornings, and I'm really concerned. I don't smoke or use any tobacco products, so I'm not sure what's going on. It's been happening for about a week now. Could you help me figure out what's causing this?

Possible causes include: _Environmental factors_: + Air pollution exposure + Dust or particulate matter inhalation _Infections_: + Bronchitis + Pneumonia _Other conditions_: + Fungal infections (e.g., aspergillosis) + Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Consult a doctor, preferably a pulmonologist or primary care physician, for a proper evaluation. They may recommend: _Physical examination_ _Chest X-ray or CT scan_ _Blood tests_ _Sputum analysis_ In the meantime: _Stay hydrated_ _Use a humidifier_ _Avoid exposure to pollutants_
