I struggle with breathing every April and October and need to use a Rotahaler in emergencies. I get a tight chest, wheezing, cough, and cold, and this happens with every change of the weather. Some doctors have mentioned it might be due to sinus issues. How can I manage or find relief from asthma or bronchitis?

I recently got my chest x-ray report and it mentions some unclear haziness in the left cardiophrenic angle region and a prominent epicardiac fat pad, along with patchy infiltration. The rest of the lung fields look clear, and the cardio thoracic ratio is normal. But it also mentions that both hila are prominent and my bony thorax shows no significant abnormality. The domes of my diaphragm are well outlined. Theyve advised clinical correlation and I'm not entirely sure what all this means. Should I be worried about these findings, especially the haziness and the prominent hila? What steps should I take next?

I'm really worried because I've been rejected for a medical check for Kuwait due to two white spots on the left side of my lungs. I feel stranded since I can't fly even though I think I'm medically fit. Is there any hope of getting rid of these spots? I had TB when I was almost 3 years old22 years ago now. I'm 24. Is there any treatment I can consider?

I understand how frustrating this situation must be for you. The white spots on your lungs are likely scar tissue from your past TB. While treatments like bronchoscopy or surgical options can sometimes help, they may not always clear the scars entirely. Consulting a pulmonologist for a detailed evaluation is the best step.

I've been smoking heavily for the last 8 years and have recently developed some chest pain. I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice or suggestions on what I should do. Is this something serious related to smoking or could it be something else?

Chest pain in a chain smoker could be a sign of serious health issues. I recommend you to immediately stop smoking and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.
