I'm feeling kind of worried because I've been experiencing some heavy breathing on and off for a few days now. I have an allergy and I'm already taking montelukast tablets and using my inhaler with 250mg three times a day. The weird thing is, I don't have any trouble when I'm walking or jogging, and my oxygen levels are good at 98%. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a bit concerned because I had a cough and cold for a few days, and then I got a fever, which hit a really high of around 103.5. I took Azithromycin 500 for five days, and thankfully, the fever is gone now. But on the last day of taking the antibiotics, I ended up coughing up blood twice, though it was just a couple of spots and it stopped the next day. Its been two days now, and I havent had any more bleeding. Ive attached some pictures that show the bloody phlegm, but now I'm not coughing any blood. The blood I saw was mixed with mucus. I also had a chest X-ray, and it showed mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and a horizontal fissure. Do you think I need a CT scan, or is this something normal that happens? I'm really worried about this.

I'm wondering if it's safe for heart patients who don't have asthma but had bronchitis just once to use inhaled corticosteroids regularly. Could this be harmful over time? I've heard something about it possibly being connected to glaucoma, and it's got me a bit worried. What do you think?

yes there will be sideeffects of steroids. consult a physician for use of steroids

I'm having trouble getting enough oxygen. I've got a cold and I'm coughing up a bit of phlegm, but there's not much of it and its brown. I've also got nodules on my lungs, and the largest one is around 5 cm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?
