I've been diagnosed with a bulla in my right lung and have had a persistent cough for 20 days along with mild breathing issues. Should this be treated with surgery or medication, and what would the cost look like for either option?

Question

I've been dealing with this really persistent cough for the past month, and it gets really bad at night. It's to the point where I have trouble breathing because of the cough. Ive had an X-ray and blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why does my breathing stop at night because of the cough? What's going on?

Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent HRCT thorax report. It mentioned that there are a few subcentimetric lymph nodes in the pre-tracheal and pre-carinal regions, but everything else seems normal. I've been having breathing issues, though my PFT report came back completely normal. It turns out the breathing problem is caused by an arytenoid covering half of my vocal cord. I just need to know, are these subcentimetric lymph nodes something to worry about, or are they considered normal?

Question

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?
