I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

View allI'm trying to understand a few things that I'm experiencing right now. My recent chest X-ray showed hyperinflation of the lungs, but my doctor mentioned it might just be because I took a deep breath, saying the X-ray looks normal. The ENT said it could be early signs of asthma. Im on AB Phylline 100mg, Alex Syrup, and Prustalin Antihistamine, which have almost stopped my cough, but I still have phlegm and post-nasal drip, especially when I don't take Prustalin. I have a non-smoker background, no exposure to chemical fumes, but my mom does have asthma, and my IgE level came back at 440 with eosinophils last checked at 10.5. Is this really asthma? Should I be considering inhalers after finishing this current course of medication, and do the X-ray and PFT results seem normal to you?
Your current symptoms and reports suggest allergic airway inflammation that may be managed well without inhalers.Check with family history for asthma

I'm a bit concerned because for the past year, I've been dealing with excess mucus, especially in the morning, and it's usually yellow or gray. I did an IgE test and an X-ray back in April, and the doctor said it was a seasonal allergy, suggesting I take Montek LC at bedtime for a month, but I only stuck with it for a week. Occasionally, about once a week or even less, I get shortness of breath around bedtime. Recently, I got the Covaxin vaccine about five days ago, and since then, I've noticed that my blood pressure is a bit low at 10570, and I've been getting shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat at times. Could this be from the vaccine, or is it the allergies acting up? I also experience some gastric issues, like passing a lot of gas. I work out almost daily and don't have any other health problems, my SPO2 levels are usually between 96 and 98. What do you think I should do for treatment?
gastritis and anxiety

I'm feeling really under the weather with this cold I've had for the past five days. I went ahead and got a chest X-ray, and the results mentioned something about mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in the bilateral lower zone. Does this sound serious to you, and is there a chance it could be related to tuberculosis? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate some insight on this.
The mildly prominent bronchovascular markings in your chest X-ray typically indicate mild inflammation or irritation in the lungs, often seen with respiratory infections like the common cold. It is not a specific sign of tuberculosis. However, its best to follow up with your doctor for a complete evaluation and to rule out any other concerns.
