I'm having a really hard time breathing comfortably. I can't seem to take a full breath through my nose, and it's really frustrating. I find myself breathing through my mouth a lot, and that's causing issues. I can't figure out what's going on. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?

I'm really concerned about my dad who's 52 and has been diagnosed with COPD. He's had a bad cough for a while, and the doctor suggested he take Unicontin 400 every night. It's helped his cough a lot, but I'm wondering if it's really COPD since the doctor didn't do a spirometry test and my dad doesn't smoke. Should we go ahead and get the spirometry test done anyway? Also, I've read about side effects of Unicontin 400. Are there any other meds we could consider?

Its possible that your father has COPD even without smoking, as other factors like exposure to pollutants or genetics can contribute. Spirometry is a key test for confirming COPD, so it may be worth discussing with the doctor. If youre concerned about Unicontin 400's side effects, ask about alternative medications like inhaled steroids or bronchodilators, which might be gentler on the body.

I'm 21 and have been dealing with wheezing for the past 5 months. I've seen several doctors and they all mention it's due to mucus build-up. They prescribed me some tablets, and I've completed the course, but it's still not getting better. A few have also mentioned that I have a condition called pigeon chest, and that this could be why recovery is taking so long. I'm really tired of taking meds with no relief. What can I do to actually get better?

Physiotherapy opinion is advised.Also chest arthosis and bracing is advised to the patient.

I'm curious to know if I might have received the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis in my childhood. Is it a typical practice in India to get it along with other childhood vaccines? My parents can't remember either. Plus, whats the recommended test if I want to check for TB now? Should I go for the Tuberculin Skin Test or the TB Blood test, specifically the Quantiferon one?

Do CBNAAT to confirm it
