I'm a bit confused about these HRCT scans. Are an HRCT chest and HRCT lungs the same thing, or do they look for different issues? I'm trying to figure out if they cover different parts of the body or serve different purposes. Could you explain this to me? I'm feeling a bit anxious and want to understand what's going on.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing some serious chest issues, and it feels like it's getting worse. I've read that COPD can be a really severe illness, and I'm concerned I might be dealing with it. Could you please help me understand how I can start healing from this?

My mom's 53 and she's got diabetes and this dust allergy thing going on. She randomly got short of breath today and couldn't talk, which panicked us a bit. She usually gets mild asthma when she's near dust, but today it hit out of nowhere with no dust around. After taking Asthalin, she felt better. I'm curious about what could've triggered this sudden asthma attack without being around dust, and is it okay for her to use Asthalin every day?

when symptoms exacerbated take asthalin
