I'm really struggling with cold and cough that's been going on for quite some time now, and I found out it's actually allergic asthma. I'm thinking about getting a PFT test done. What do you think? Would that help in understanding my condition better?

View allI've got this question about a recent visit to a male doctor for my cough. He began the exam by touching above my left breast with the stethoscope, then moved beneath it, right on the breast, not where the lungs are. He repeated the same steps on my right breast. This kind of threw me off. Is that a standard part of examining a cough? I'm hesitant to accuse anyone without knowing if that was necessary, so I'd appreciate some clarity on this.
Yes that is necessary to examine your lungs in cough ,and for every female that is the way to examine,if you are not comfortable,you can visit Female Physician

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing shortness of breath pretty much all the time lately. It's been a few days, and I'm starting to get really worried because it messes up my ability to talk, especially while I'm working. Is it normal to feel like this every day? What could be causing it?
Feeling shortness of breath for several days isnt normal and could indicate anything from anxiety to a respiratory or heart issue. Since its affecting your daily life, I recommend seeing a doctor soon to ensure nothing serious is overlooked. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon!
