I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm using Combihale FF 500 now and I'm feeling some vibrations in my chest. Could it be from the medication? I've been diagnosed with asthma and Foracort 200 isn't helping much. Is this something serious or just normal side effects?

I recently got my chest x-ray report and it mentions some unclear haziness in the left cardiophrenic angle region and a prominent epicardiac fat pad, along with patchy infiltration. The rest of the lung fields look clear, and the cardio thoracic ratio is normal. But it also mentions that both hila are prominent and my bony thorax shows no significant abnormality. The domes of my diaphragm are well outlined. Theyve advised clinical correlation and I'm not entirely sure what all this means. Should I be worried about these findings, especially the haziness and the prominent hila? What steps should I take next?

I'm really concerned because I've been smoking cigarettes for over 5 years now, and I've started having problems with a persistent cough and phlegm. I'm wondering if there's anything I could do to help with these issues besides quitting smoking?
