I'm really worried about my boyfriendhe's been experiencing shortness of breath almost every day, and now his sleep is getting disrupted by this choking cough and cold. He even catches a cold easily in the summer. It's been really rough for the past 23 days, and on top of that, he has indigestion. What can I do to help him or any advice on how we should handle this situation?

My pneumonectomy stump has a 6mm opening that hasn't closed even after keeping an ICD for two weeks to drain the cavity. The cavity level has reduced, but the stump opening stays the same size as before. I'm looking for treatment options other than surgery what can be done to help this heal properly?
For the 6mm opening at the pneumonectomy stump, further interventions like vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy or prolonged drainage may be needed. Non-surgical options depend on the type of cavity and healing status. Consider consulting a thoracic surgeon.

Ive been having a bit of a struggle with breathlessness even when climbing just a couple of floors, which is unusual for me since Im generally healthy and active. Not too long ago, I had a nasty infection and was coughing up a lot of yellow-green phlegm. It went on for nearly a week, and during that time, I found myself gasping for breath like it was asthma, though it didnt turn into a full-blown attack. I used an inhaler to help with the breathing. An Ayurvedic doctor mentioned that I have very shallow breath intake and low lung capacity. Could you provide some advice or suggest ways to improve this?
