Question

I'm really worried about this chronic cough I have, especially at night. It seems to be getting worse and causing some respiratory issues. Could it be related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? What should I be looking out for, and is there anything I can do to manage these symptoms better at home?

Question

I'm 23 and dealing with tuberculosis, and I'm on medication for it. But lately, I've developed pulmonary fibrosis, and I'm super concerned about what's next. Is there any way to treat or even cure pulmonary fibrosis? My doctor mentioned it's irreversible but suggested that maybe it's not so bad since I'm young. Is it true that being young might help with managing this? I've read that people with pulmonary fibrosis might only live up to 35 yearsthat's really worrying me. Is there hope or treatment options out there?

Question

I've been dealing with some troubling symptoms and could really use some advice. Earlier this year, I had issues with waking up in the morning and coughing up blood. It was mostly when I got up and would spit, but the rest of the day seemed fine. I also noticed palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath, which would often go away with burping. After getting some advice from my doctor and having some tests done, which all came back normal, that bloody sputum stopped after about a month and a half. However, over the past few days, those symptoms have returned, along with a lot of burping. This morning, I once again coughed up blood and now have a slight sore throat. Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Question

I'm really confused and a bit worried. My chest X-ray is normal, but I'm still coughing up dark red blood. Sometimes it's less, and the blood is mixed with a yellowish color. I haven't had any chest pain or heart issues before. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
