I'm struggling with breathing issues for the past three months, like I cant get a good deep breath sometimes, and it's like something is blocking me. Plus, I'm getting this tight feeling in my throat. I had a chest X-ray, but it showed nothing wrong. Could this be due to my gas problem or something else? What should I do?

I'm reaching out because I've been having some troubles and could really use some advice. I don't have a cough at all, but I've been putting a lot of effort into trying to bring up sputum, and thankfully, I've never seen blood in it. I'm not a smoker, but I do experience acidity problems. After taking Theo-Asthalin tablets for the past three days, I'm now feeling a heaviness in my chest. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what might be helpful for me?

take tablet mucinac twice a day for 5 days

I'm a bit worried about my 14-year-old son. His recent CT scan mentioned something about small subsegmental atelectasis in the anterior segment of his right upper lobe. Is this something minor or more serious? Does he need any medication for it? Also, the scan said that the tracheobronchial tree is normal, and there are no signs of Covid pneumonia with a CORADS score of 1. The CT severity score is 0 too. What do you think, should I be concerned?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
