I'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with sleep apnea for like 10 years now, and it causes her to wake up suddenly while sleeping, though it only happens once every month or every couple of months. What kind of treatments are available for this, and how can we help her manage or sort this out?

View allI'm curious about the benefits of taking turmeric steam for shortness of breath. I've been doing it for over a month now. I've also had a chest x-ray that showed no issues, and I'm on medication suggested by a pulmonologist from this app. I don't have any cold, fever, or cough. The doctor mentioned it might be due to acidity and anxiety, but I find myself needing to take deep breaths every 34 minutes or so. I don't eat much and just do some light walking in my parking lot because of the lockdown. I had been using duolin and easebreath nebulization but decided to stop and stick with turmeric steam instead. I'm also taking RabletD and Abflo, with just two doses left. What do you think about this approach?
Turmeric steam may provide some comfort but doesnt directly address shortness of breath caused by acidity or anxiety. Its good that your chest X-ray is normal and you're following your pulmonologists advice. Continue your prescribed medications (Rablet-D and AB-Flo), stay hydrated, and practice relaxation techniques to manage anxiety. If symptoms persist, follow up with your doctor.

I'm dealing with some chest pain that's been bothering me since January. I've done an ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and sputum test, and everything came back normal. The pain has decreased a bit since then, but it's still there. Plus, every morning at around 5 am, phlegm comes up, and I notice a bit of a cough when I exercise. Also, my chest starts getting irritated when I sit in an A.C. environment. Could you suggest some precautions or any advice on what might help? I'm really looking for some guidance here.

I'm a long-time smoker, and I'm starting to focus more on my health recently. I've managed to cut down on smoking a bit. I don't have any breathing issues at the moment, but I usually get routine blood tests. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to get a lung checkup too. What do you suggest?
do pulmonary function test for your lung reports
