I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with bronchitis and has had COPD for about two years now. We saw a pulmonologist who recommended AB FLO and AZEE 500 FARACART, but they haven't really helped much. She's still having a hard time breathing, coughing a lot, and there's a ton of mucus in her chest, making her lungs feel heavy. Can you suggest any other medicines or daily exercises that might help manage her COPD? She still does house chores like washing clothes and cleaning, but maybe there are specific activities or foods she should avoid? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .

I'm experiencing this weird dry cough situation. Every time I inhale and exhale, especially in the evenings, I cough once or twice. It doesn't really happen during the day. Do you have any idea why this could be happening?

It sounds like you may have a mild form of evening-related bronchospasm or irritation, possibly due to postnasal drip, acid reflux, or early asthma. Try staying hydrated, avoid triggers like cold air or allergens, and consider a checkup if it persists.
