I'm really concerned about this cold and cough that keeps coming back, especially with breathing problems at night and in the early morning for the past three weeks. I saw a general physician and the medicine worked for a week, but the breathing issue starts up again as soon as I stop taking it. What should I do about this?

It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings, especially since I have a history of bronchitis. I'm 51 years old and commute for 2 hours daily. My previous PFT report was okay, but could this be something serious?
Your x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings could be indicative of bronchitis or inflammation in the airways. Given your history of bronchitis and daily travel of 2 hours, it is important to manage this condition to prevent any exacerbation. I would recommend using an inhaler like Salbutamol (Ventolin) 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for bronchospasm. Additionally, you can use an inhaled corticosteroid like Fluticasone (Flovent) 2 puffs twice daily to reduce airway inflammation. It is also important to stay hydrated, avoid exposure to smoke or pollutants, and consider wearing a mask during your daily commute to protect your airways. Regular follow-up with your doctor for monitoring and possible repeat PFT testing is advisable to ensure optimal lung function.

I'm really worried about someone who's been having breathing and suffocation issues. They've also been dealing with a spine problem for the last five months. A specialist recommended that they rest for six months, but just recently, they've started experiencing more problems. Could you give some advice on what we should do next?
