I'm a bit worried about my breathing sometimes. I had a stent implant about 3 years back and I've noticed that when I catch a cold or have a cough, it becomes hard to breathe. My doctor gave me a few medicationsBudecort 200, Esiflo 250, Tiova, and Leveloinbut I usually just take Budecort 200 whenever I feel it's needed. Is this okay to do, or should I be taking all the prescribed medications regularly?

My father-in-law just had a chest X-ray today and the report mentioned something about prominent bronchovascular markings in his lung field. Could you help me understand what this means? Is there any chance this could be a sign of something chronic?

it might be due to infection

I've been experiencing this weird, persistent cough once a day or so, and each time it comes with this white, sticky phlegm. It only seems to stop after I somehow manage to clear it all out. Sometimes I even have to force myself to vomit just to get it out of my throat. Also, I've noticed a whistling or wheezing sound when I breathe in while Im coughing. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and suggest who I should reach out to for help?
