I'm having trouble with my breathing and it's been going on for about two months now. My chest X-ray came out clear, but I've also been dealing with a sore throat and no fever. My temperature is normal. I'm obese with a BMI of 34, and I'm really worried about my breathing issues. My SpO2 levels range between 96 and 99. My grandma has asthma, so I'm wondering if there's a connection. Im using the Seroflo 250 inhaler and Ezicas nasal spray, but Im not sure if I need to do more. Ive got a PFT report from a year ago, and my peak flow meter always reads above 500. Could any of this relate to my breathing difficulties, and what can I do to improve this situation?

I've been trying so hard to quit smoking and just decided to finally kick the habit. I stumbled onto something online about lung wash procedures that apparently help clear out the tar in the lungs from smoking. Does anyone know where I can get a regular lung wash done in Gurgaon? I'm really curious if this could help me breathe better.

Patient is advised tab nicotex orally for 6-8 weeks.

I'm dealing with a blocked nose and a cough that I've had for a few days, but now I'm noticing some blood in my cough. Should I be concerned about this, and what type of doctor should I see?

It could be due to various reasons such as a respiratory infection, bronchitis, or even more serious conditions like pneumonia or tuberculosis. I recommend you to consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with some breathing problems lately and I'm worried. My ESR value is 70 and my WBC count is 14,000. I noticed when I used medication for a while, it seemed to help a bit, but now the issue is coming back. Are there any natural remedies or specific foods I should try? And do you have any idea why this might be happening?
