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?

It mentioned that my bilateral lung fields show prominent broncho vascular markings, both hila are likely vascular and prominent, and there's a blunted right CP angle due to pleural effusion or pleural thickening. Should I be worried about these findings? What do these terms really mean for my lung health?

blunted cp angle means theres is fluid collection in her pleura
