I'm a bit concerned because I've never had any medical issues before, but for the last month or so, I've been getting out of breath really easily, even just walking a short distance or talking a lot. I used to be really active, going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training regularly until the end of last year. I'm curious if there's something going on with my health and what kind of remedies I should consider. Any thoughts on what might be causing this sudden breathlessness?

I'm really confused about my chest x-ray results. It says BVM, but I'm not sure if that means bivascular markings or bronchovascular markings, or if they're actually the same thing. I had the x-ray because I was checking for swollen lymph nodes. What exactly does BVM mean in this context? Should I be worried?

Prominent bronchovascular markings is seen in infections ,bronchitis, asthma,bronchopneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension.

I'm really worried because my IgE level is 1180. I've been experiencing wheezing and coughing, and I also have some red spots on my skin. I consulted a doctor, and they mentioned it might be asthma. I've got my PFT reports attached. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm 21 and I've had asthma since I was 2. It's not super severe, but I do need to use my Foracort inhaler every day. I also like to work out at the gym. One time I tried whey protein and got hives from it. I'm wondering if taking amino acid supplements could negatively affect my asthma? Would love to know your thoughts.

just avoid it, there are many contents which can cause allergy
